Blowin' Smoke
written by:Billy Spencer, Tommy Polk, David Ball
performed by David Ball on "Thinkin' Problem"
[Intro]
G
1.Beneath this neon haze here in this honky tonk
I tell everyone who'll listen I don't miss her being gone
C
I've got a big smile on my face that's all they see
G D G
Guess there ain't no limit to what some people will believe
C
C.I say I've burned her memory
G
But I'm just blowin' smoke
C
There's embers in the ashes
D
That haven't yet grown cold
C
In the darkness here I hide a tear
G C
Hoping it don't show
G D
Well I say I burned her memory but I know
G
I'm just blowin' smoke
2.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
C.
C
B.I can fool 'em one I can fool 'em all
D
I play the part so well
C
I'd give all I ever owned
D
If I could only fool myself
C.
