Song Lyrics

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

Billy Spencer, David A Ball, Tommy Polk
