Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
                   D                                               A7
They're the only kind of life you'll ever understand

You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man.

       D                                        D7           G
A home and little children mean nothing to you
       D                                                      A7
A house filled with love and a husband so true.
            D                                              D7         G
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
               D                                      A7                    D
And the only home you know is the club down the street.

Dim lights ...


A drinkin' and 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'm sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart.
