Dim Lights, Thick Smoke

Lester: I'll tell you what lets do.

Lets do one of the real old ones here.

Marty, Marty Stuart, if you will.

Some of the neighbours wanted to here one,

that, we recorded way back in the middle,

fifties I guess it was. And of course we're always

happy to try to do the numbers that you do ask for,

and it's one entitled DIM LIGHTS, THICK SMOKE AND LOUD, LOUD MUSIC.



Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music



It's 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 with little children, means nothin' 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 know is the club down the street



Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music



It's 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-drinkin' and a-dancin', to a Honky-Tonk band



Is the only kind of life, you will ever understand



Go on and have your fun, you think you played it smart



But I'm sorry for you, in your Honky-Tonk heart



Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music



It's 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
