E                                 A 
  Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music 
         E                                    B 
  Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand 
       E                                 A 
  Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music 
                                 B           E 
  You'll never make a wife to a home'lovin' man 
 
     E                                        A 
  A home and little children mean nothing to you 
     E                            B 
  A house filled with love and a husband so true 
         E                                          A 
  You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet 
          E                            B 
  And the only house you know is the club down the street 
 
  
 
  A-drinkin' and a-dancin' to a honky-tonk band 
  Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand 
  Go on and have your fun, you think you've played it smart 
  I feel sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart
