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 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 don't sho
|
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 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
|
