There's a honky tonk on the edge of town
I used to call my second home
It's a place I'd 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

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's my living room
Well I might die from 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
A lot of friends come see me
Some stay until the break of dawn
I can paint the town without leavin' the house
I can feel good till it hurts
Now that my home sweet second home just became my first

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's my living room
Well I might die from a broken heart
But I'll never die of thirst
Now that my second home has become my first

Lord, now that my second home has become my first
