The Wild Side of Life
Journey Through Heartbreak: Wild Side of Life Revealed
Lyrics
Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
Expressing frustration that the recipient doesn't read the letters.
You asked me not to call you on the phone
Recipient requested not to be called on the phone.
There's something I've been waiting for to tell you
Implying anticipation of a significant message to share.
So I wrote it in the words of this song
Conveying the important message through the lyrics of the song.
You never knew there were honky tonk angels
Highlighting the unawareness of the existence of honky tonk angels.
Or you might have known I'd never make a wife
Suggesting that if aware, the person might have reconsidered leaving.
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
Expressing abandonment by the person who was truly loved.
So I went back to the wild side of life
Returning to a lifestyle associated with freedom and wildness.
Now the glamor of the good life always lead me
Reflecting on the allure of a glamorous yet reckless lifestyle.
To the places where the wild liquor flows
Describing the places where excessive drinking and wild behavior occur.
I tried to be your one and only angel
Acknowledging an attempt to be a devoted partner.
But I'm not that kind of angel, heaven knows
Admitting the inability to fit the mold of a perfect angel.
I cried so hard the day you went and left me
Expressing deep sorrow and pain upon being left.
'Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife
Referring to hurtful words that had a lasting impact.
What you wanted was another kind of angel
Recognizing the desire for a different kind of partner.
And you should be back to the wild side of life
Suggesting that the person belongs to the wild side of life.
No, well, I guess I'm just a honky tonk angel
Acceptance of the role as a honky tonk angel, incompatible with being a wife.
I might have known I'd never make a wife
Reiteration of the understanding that marriage wasn't feasible.
Well, you left the only one who ever loved you
Stating the abandonment by the person who was genuinely loved.
And I'm back here on the wild side of life
Being back on the wild side of life, a place of freedom.
I'm only a honky tonk angel
Reiteration of being a honky tonk angel, incompatible with marriage.
I might have known I'd never make a wife
Acceptance of the realization that being a wife was not feasible.
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
Expressing the abandonment by the person who was truly loved.
And you left me here on the wild side of life
Reiterating the current state of being on the wild side of life.
