It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels - Kitty Wells

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times, married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong It's a shame all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men feel the same From the start, most every heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single And that has caused me, a good girl, to go wrong Mmm, go wrong I was so alone You're on your own, mmm

As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing The tune about the oneside of life As I listen to the words you are saying It brings memories when I was a trusting wife It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you wrote in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong It's a shame that all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men think the same From the start 'most every heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame It was not God who made honky tonk angels Like you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you You asked me not to call you on the phone But there's something I'm wanting to tell you So, I wrote it in the words of this song I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playin' A song about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are sayin' It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting wife It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels As you say in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're single And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife Too many times married men think they're single And go back to the wild side of life They go back to the wild side of life

Woman left me with the blues And I know just how I got 'em I see a fifth of Jimmy Beam I'm gonna drink it to the bottom I ain't tryna hurt nobody I ain't prone to give a damn I got me nothin' left to lose I'm in a honky-tonk mood I'm in a honky-tonk mood That's where I'll be all night If anybody's lookin' for me Look for a neon light, oh We're playin' here tonight And then I'm playin' here tomorrow I got a whiskey and a tune I'm in a honky-tonk mood If I get to gettin' loud Don't you worry 'bout it, boys 'Cause gettin' over this heartache Is gonna make a little noise If I start to dancin' 'round Don't try and pull me off the floor I'm just a-kickin' up my boots I'm in a honky-tonk mood I'm in a honky-tonk mood That's where I'll be all night If anybody's lookin' for me Look for a neon light, oh We're playin' here tonight And then I'm playin' here tomorrow I got a whiskey and a tune I'm in a honky-tonk mood I got a whiskey and a tune I'm in a honky-tonk mood

Hark the voice of Jesus calling come and work for him today The fields are white and the harvest falling come and work for him today You've got to walk that lonesome valley you've got to go there by yourself There's no one here can go there with you you've got to go there by yourself [ Steel ] My mother told me when she was dying just before her breath was gone My darling one put trust in Jesus for I'll leave you here alone You've got to walk... [ Steel ] Some people say he was a Baptist others say he was a Jew But the Holy Bible tells us that he was a preacher too You've got to walk...

I have seen valleys, the lowest of lows I have felt heartache that would not let go I have been shaken, deep in my soul I have been broken more than you know But here I am still standing So believe me when I say If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after You'll be even stronger than before He can restore What'd shattered Nothing is wasted, there's always a plan He has a purpose you may not understand He's never been closer if you just hold on He'll take you deeper, He'll give you a song 'Cause here I am still standing So believe me when I say If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after You'll be even stronger than before He can restore What'd shattered If I am still here standing You can believe me when I say That He is more than able to redeem Your every pain If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after You'll be even stronger than before He can restore, oh If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after He will make you stronger than before I know He'll restore What'd shattered

"Today" You're wondering if you should go for it Asking when it'll be the right time Questioning if you have what it takes But He will give you strength Don't be held down by your regrets Don't let fear steal your every breath He is with you with every step So take every chance you get What are you waiting for You've got today To forgive, and to live, let the light shine in To begin, start again You've got today Turn the page, make a change, love will find a way Don't hesitate You've got today Your every dream is yours for a reason Nobody else can take your place It don't mean a thing if it seems impossible All things are possible He makes every day an open door So try again if you've failed before It's not too late 'Cause you've got today We gotta wake up, wake up And give it all to Him Let's come alive again
