Verse 1:

I thought that you and I were forever.
Until tonight I never felt alone.
And though you never mentioned you were going.
I felt a chill go running through my bones

Verse 2:

Across the room in silent conversation.
I heard every word you didn’t say.
Lets go to sleep pretend this never happened.
Tomorrow you won’t feel so far away.

Bridge:

For a minute there a part of you was leaving.
I saw that far away look in your eyes.

For a minute there my heart almost stopped beating.
For a minute there I thought you said good by.

For a Minute there I felt my world was ending.
For a minute there I thought you said good by.

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
You’d rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only house you know is the bar down the street

Chorus:
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

Drinkin’ and 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

Chorus

Change to Key of G
Chorus:
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
