Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and loud, loud music
It’s the only kind of live you’ll ever understand
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You’ll never look at your wife, you go home loving mine
At home and little children, … and evil
Our house filled with love or hugs, that true
You’d rather have a drink with the bourbon kind you need it
And the only home you know, that ṗub down the street
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and loud, loud music
It’s the only kind of live you’ll ever understand
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You’ll never look at your wife, go home loving mine
Good thinking and fixing to a honky-tonk made it
When you left your loving family life back, right back where you ran
So go on and have your fun, but you won’t always look so smart
When some day that lonely bar brake your honky-tonk heart
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and loud, loud music
It’s the only kind of live you’ll ever understand
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You’ll never look at your wife, to a home loving mine
Oh You’ll never look at your wife, to a home loving mine
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and loud, loud music
You’ll never look at your wife, to a home loving mine
