(Chorus) 
     E                                 A 
Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music 
       E                                    B 
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand 
     E                                 A 
Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music 
                               B           E 
You'll never make a wife to a home'lovin' man 
 
(Verse 1) 
   E                                        A 
A home and little children mean nothing to you 
   E                            B 
A house filled with love and a husband so true 
      E                                          A 
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet 
          E                            B 
And the only house you know is the club down the street 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Verse 2) 
A-drinkin' and a-dancin' to a honky-tonk band 
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand 
Go on and have your fun, you think you've played it smart 
I feel sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart 
 
(Chorus) 
 
           E(chuck it twice)           
Dim lights,  
           E(chuck it twice) 
thick smoke  
    E         A 
and loud, ass music 
 
                               B           E 
You'll never make a wife to a home'lovin' man
