Blowin' Smoke - David Ball

Beneath this 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 limit to what some people will believe

I say I’ve burned her memory

But I’m just blowin' smoke

There’s embers in the ashes

That haven’t yet grown cold

In the darkness here I hide a tear

Hoping it won’t show

Well I say I 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

Got over her the minute that she walked out the door

I just look 'em in the eye and lie that’s what honky tonks are for

I say I’ve burned her memory

But I’m just blowin' smoke

There’s embers in the ashes

That haven’t yet grown cold

In the darkness here I hide a tear

Hoping it won’t show

Well I say I 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

I say I’ve burned her memory

But I’m just blowin' smoke

There’s embers in the ashes

That haven’t yet grown cold

In the darkness here I hide a tear

Hoping it won’t show

Well I say I burned her memory but I know

I’m just blowin' smoke

Well I say I burned her memory but I know

I’m just blowin' smoke
