Beneath this neon haze here in this honky ton
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 blowing 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 showg 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
T blowing smoke
