John Prine Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, And Loud, Loud Music (feat. Amanda Shires)
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
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
