E                                   A
Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music
       E                      B           E 
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man


[Verse 1]

  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            E 
And the only home you know is the bar down the street


[Chorus]

    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
       E                      B           E 
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man

[Verse 2]

E                                    A
Drinkin' and dancin' to a honky-tonk band
E                                         B
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
E                                                   A
Go on and have your fun, you think you've played it smart
E                             B
I feel sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart

[Chorus]

    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
       E                      B           E 
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man


Change to Key of G

[Chorus]

    G                                 C
Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music
       G                                  D
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
    G                                 C
Dim lights thick smoke and loud, loud music
       G                      D           G 
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man
