Blowin' Smoke

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 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 don't sho
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 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
