There's a honkey tonk on the edge of town
i used to call my second home
it's a place to go just to get away
when i wanted to be alone
well, early one morning had a fight with my darling
that went from bad to worse
it ended when she said "your second home, just became your first"
(chorus)
now the jukebox is my alarm clock, i wake up in a corner booth
i don't have a tab, don't need no cab
cause the dance floor is my living room
well, i might die of a broken heart
but i'll never die of thirst
now that my second home has become my first
___
well i don't have to pay no mortgage
i don't have to mow no lawn
alot of friends come to see me
some stay until the break of dawn
i can paint the town without leaving the house
i can feel good until it hurts
now that my home sweet second home
just became my first
(chorus)
