Flatt & Scruggs - Dim Lights Thick Smoke Lyrics

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
