[1] Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud [4] music
[1] You'll never make a wife to a [5] home-loving [1] man

[1] A home and little children mean nothing to [4] you
A [1] house filled with love and a husband so [5] true
You'd [1] rather have a drink with the first guy you [4] meet
And the [1] only home you know is the [5] club down the [1] street

[1] Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud [4] music
Is the [1] only kind of life you'll ever understand [5]
[1] Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud [4] music
[1] You'll never make a wife to a [5] home-loving [1] man

A-dancin' and drinkin' to a honky tonk band
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Go out and have your fun you think you've played it smart
I'm sorry for you and your honky tonk heart
