EA
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
EB
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand
EA
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
EBE
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man
[Verse 1]
EA
A home and little children, mean nothing to you
EB
A house filled with love or a husband that’s true
EA
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
EBE
And the only home you know is that club down the street
[Chorus]
EA
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
EB
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand
EA
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
EBE
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man
[Solo]
EAEBEAEBE
[Verse 2]
EA
A drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band
EB
When you left your loving family life back right back where you ran
EA
So go on and have your fun but you won't always look so smart
EBE
When some day that lonely barroom breaks your honky-tonk heart
[Chorus]
EA
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
EB
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand
EA
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
EBE
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man
