dim lights

thick smoke and loud

loud music

it's 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

drinkin' and dancin' to a honky-tonk band

it's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

go on and have your fun you think you played it smart

i feel sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart

dim lights

thick smoke and loud

loud music

it's 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

home and little children means nothing to you

a house filled with love and a husband so true

you'd rather have a drink with the first man you meet

the only home you'll know is the bar down the street
