Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music) - Earl Scruggs/Lester Flatt

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-lovin' 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

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-lovin' man

Out drinkin' and dancin' 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

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-lovin' man
