Blowin' Smoke

Beneath the neon haze here in this honky tonk

I tell everyone who'll listen I don't miss her being gone

I've got a big smile painted on my face, that's all they see

Guess there ain't no limits to what some people will believe

I can say I've burned her memory

But I'm just blowin' smoke

There's embers in the ashes

They haven't yet grown cold

In the darkness here I hide a tear

Hoping it won't show

I can say I've burned her memory, but I know

I'm just blowin' smoke

I don't want to face the truth that I'm still in love with her

So I tell 'em she's just history as far as I'm concerned

I got over her the minute that she walked out the door

I just look 'em in the eye and lie

Ain't that what honky tonks are for

I can say I've burned her memory

But I'm just blowin' smoke

There's embers in the ashes

They haven't yet grown cold

In the darkness here I hide a tear

Hoping it won't show

I can say I've burned her memory, but I know

I'm just blowin' smoke

I can fool 'em one

I can fool 'em all

I play the part so well

I'd give all I ever owned

If I could only fool myself
