Blowin' Smoke
D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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 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 don'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 don'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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of D's song Blowin' Smoke depict a man who is unable to come to terms with the fact that he is still in love with his former partner. He's trying to fool everyone around him into thinking that he is over her and moved on. The singer is in a honky-tonk where he is telling everyone who will listen that he doesn't miss his former partner being gone. He puts on a big smile on his face, and that's all he wants people to see. However, the reality is that he's just blowing smoke, and there are embers in the ashes that haven't yet grown cold.


The man doesn't want to accept the truth, so he convinces himself and others that his former partner is history and not worth thinking about. He claims to have gotten over her the minute she walked out the door but deep down; he knows that he's making a big lie. He's hoping that no one else will see through his deception, and he can get away with it.


The singer is fooling everyone around him in this song, but he knows that he can't fool himself. He's burning his partner's memory, but he's just blowing smoke. The lyrics are poignant and relatable to anyone who has gone through a breakup and is trying to convince themselves and others they are over it. The honky-tonk setting adds an element of nostalgia, and it's easy to imagine the singer drowning his sorrows at the bar while trying to convince himself that he's over his failed relationship.
