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 I see
Guess there ain't no limit to what some people will believeI 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 show
Well I say I burned her memory but I know, I'm just blowin' smokeI 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 forI 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 show
Well I say I burned her memory but I know, I'm just blowin' smokeI 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 myselfI 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 show
Well I say I burned her memory but I know, I'm just blowin' smokeWell I say I burned her memory but I know, I'm just blowin' smoke
