I'm staring at the sudden waterfalls Tears that don't make sense to me at all This life's what happens when you're making plans Don't know what happens next or where I stand Wanna live this wild life, wild every day Wanna say the things people never say I'll take all the love and all the pain, yeah Wanna live this wild life, wild today Give me all your love and all your pain Gon' live this wild life, wild today I'm staring at these fading signs ahead But all these times just fill me up with dread But life's what happens when you're making plans Dive or step right in, but please don't stand, oh Wanna live this wild life, wild every day Wanna say the things people never say I'll take all the love and all the pain, yeah Wanna live this wild life, wild today Give me all your love and all your pain Gon' live this wild life, wild, today

Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you And you asked me not to call you on the phone Well there's one thing I've been wanting for to tell you So I wrote it in the words of this song Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Though I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Though I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Though I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life Repeat last verse and fade.
