Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is 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
A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband so true
You`d rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you`ll know is the club down the street
A drinking and dancing 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
