dim lights, thick smoke

dim lights

thick smoke

and loud

loud music

is the only kind of life you'll ever understand

dim lights

thick smoke and loud

loud music

you'll never make a wife to a home-loving man

a home and little children mean nothing to you

a house filled with love and a husband so true

i'd rather have a drink with the first guy i meet

and the only home i'll know is the bar down the street

dim lights

thick smoke

and loud

loud music

is the only kind of life you'll ever understand

dim lights

thick smoke and loud

loud music

you'll never make a wife to a home-loving man

a drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band

is the only kind of life i'll ever understand

go out and have your fun

you think you've played it smart

i'm sorry for you and your honky tonk heart

dim lights

thick smoke

and loud

loud music

is the only kind of life you'll ever understand

dim lights

thick smoke and loud

loud music

you'll never make a wife to a home-loving man

i'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
