I met her in that honky tonk
I thought that she would change
But now I see just how much I was wrong
Though we both tried out, love still died
And now she's gone from me
Back to the only life she's known

Back where the music's loud
Back to that swinging crowd
That's where my baby feels at home
Back where the wine flows free
That's where she goes from me
That's where my baby feels at home

As I wait here in the shadows
I can see those flashing lights
I'll bet there have been lots of fun inside
I keep hoping she'll come back to me
Just any old time
She'll walk through that door just any night

Back where the music's loud
Back to that swinging crowd
That's where my baby feels at home
Back where the wine flows free
That's where she goes from me
That's where my baby feels at home

That's where my baby feels at home
