Dim Lights Thick Smoke Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

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
