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 limits to what some people will believe

I say I've burned her mem'ry 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 hopin' it don't show
Well I say I've burned her mem'ry 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 that's what honky tonks are for

I say I've burned her mem'ry...

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 can say I've burned her mem'ry...
Well I say I've burned her mem'ry but I know I'm just blowin' smoke
