Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music

It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music

You'll never make a wife to a home loving man



Drinkin' and dancin' to a honky-tonk band

It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

Go on and have your fun you think you played it smart

I feel sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart



Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music

It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music

You'll never make a wife to a home loving man



Home and little children means nothing to you

A house filled with love and a husband so true

You'd rather have a drink with the first man you meet

The only home you'll know is the bar down the street



Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music

It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music

You'll never make a wife to a home loving man

No, you'll never make a wife to a home loving man
