Blowin' Smoke

(album: Same Trailer Different Park - 2013)

Between the lunch and dinner rush
Kelly caught that outbound bus for Vegas
We're all out here talking trash, making bets
Lips wrapped round our cigarettes
She always thought she was too good to be a waitress

Well, we all say that we'll quit someday
When our ship comes in
We'll just sail away

But we're just blowing smoke
Hey yeah
We're just blowing smoke
Hey yeah
Out here going broke
Hey yeah
We're just blowing smoke

Well Janie got divorced again
Her ex-husband's in the pen
From two to five, five to ten and longer
Brenda's traded smokes for cake
Still hadn't lost that baby weight
And that baby's about to graduate
From college

I'm just flicking ash
Into the tray
Tell them both it'll be okay

But I'm just blowing smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowing smoke
Hey yeah
I'm out here going broke
Hey yeah
Yeah we're just blowing smoke

We all say that we'll
Quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake, yeah
We all say that we'll
Quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake

Wipe down the bar, take out the trash
Light one up and count my cash
Swear I'm never coming back again

I'm just blowing smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowing smoke
Hey yeah
Out here going broke
Hey yeah
Yeah we're just blowing smoke
