Skaggs, Ricky - 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 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...

Ricky, hear your songs from the past...now you are ..little EMPTY
+dixiegrass «countryboy» banjo Ricky is playing bluegrass and gospel nowadays. You wont earn a fortune that way, but it's real music
I cried for ole days in 80s with best albums of RICKY
First version I heard was by Gram Parsons. But I couldn't find it anywhere because I thought they were singing "Elastic Smoke."
@Terry Stanton Lol! Need interpreters to understand us old Kentucky boys sometimes!

Ricky's version of this great song is terrific and stands solidly on it's own. If you haven't already, also check out Flatt and Scruggs's original cut which has been the model for bluegrass bands which have come along after. Not many bluegrass versions can hold up in comparison as Ricky's does.
LOVE the mandolin added to this, makes it even better than other versions. GO RICKY!!
