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
