Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, And Loud, Loud Music - John Prine, Amanda Shires

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

I’d rather have a drink with the first guy I meet

And the only home I know is the bar down the street

(That's what I’m talkin' about)

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

(How'd you know?)

(Osmosis)

Drinkin' and a-dancin' to a honky tonk band

Is the only kind of life I’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

(Don't be sorry for me!)

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

You’ll never make a wife to a home-lovin' man
