DIM LIGHTS

(JOE MAPHIS)

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

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
