Where There's Smoke

(album: Come Get Your Memory - 2023)

We ain't gonna be on Main Street
And you won't find us in the co-op parking lot
We're taking the night off the concrete
And taking it out to a hilltop party spot
Ain't gotta deal with a crowd or an open tab
But you might have to open a gate
Ain't gotta be in a big town to burn it down
Yeah, you know what they say

Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's fire there's boys
Where there's boys there's beer
And there's bound to be some green-eyed Levi's
Mama's got no idea she's out here and 'bout to see some
Blue-dream burning in the southern lights
If you're trying to get to where we're at tonight
Hang a left at the church, follow that dirt road
And drive real slow and look for the smoke

In the Fords and the Chevys and that one Mustang
With the doors wide open bumping Marshall Tucker
We're slipping in the dark to the riverbank
And one thing leads to another

Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's fire there's boys
Where there's boys there's beer
And there's bound to be some green-eyed Levi's
Mama's got no idea she's out here and 'bout to see some
Blue-dream burning in the southern lights
If you're trying to get to where we're at tonight
Hang a left at the church, follow that dirt road
And drive real slow and look for the smoke

Cold cans and a Zippo lighter
Sliding over, right beside her
It's gonna be a here-all-nighter, here-all-nighter

Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's fire there's boys
Where there's boys there's beer
And there's bound to be some green-eyed Levi's
Mama's got no idea she's out here and 'bout to see some
Blue-dream burning in the southern lights
If you're trying to get to where we're at tonight
Hang a left at the church, follow that dirt road
And drive real slow and look for the smoke

(Cold cans and a Zippo lighter)
Look for the smoke
(Sliding over, right beside her)
Right beside her
(It's gonna be a here-all-nighter)
(Here-all-nighter)
