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 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 blowin smoke there s embers in the ashes that haven t yet grown cold in the darkness here i hide a tear hoping it won t show well i say i 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 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 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 won t show well i say i 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 i 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 won t show well i say i burned her memory but i know i m just blowin smoke well i say i burned her memory but i know i m just blowin smoke
