Dim Lights, Thick Smoke

Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of live you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-lovin' man
A home and little children mean nothin' to you
A house filled with love or a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know - that club down the street
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of live you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife for a home lovin' man
Well, drinkin' and dancin' to a honky tonk band
When you left your lovin' family life, that's right back where you ran
So go on and have your fun, but you won't always look so smart
When someday, that lonely barroom breaks your honky tonk heart
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of live you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man
No, you'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man
