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
