Blowin' Smoke Lyrics

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 blowin' smoke
Hey, yeah
We're just blowin' smoke
Hey, yeah
Out here goin' broke
Hey, yeah
Yeah, we're just blowin'
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 blowin' smoke
Hey, yeah
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah, hey yeah
I'm out here goin' broke
Hey, yeah
Yeah, we're just blowin' 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 blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
Out here going broke
Hey yeah
Yeah, we're just blowin'
Smoke

What is the Meaning of Blowin' Smoke?

In this evocative portrayal of small-town life, Kacey Musgraves captures the essence of unfulfilled dreams and the resignation that often accompanies them. The song narrates the stories of individuals stuck in repetitive cycles, making empty promises to themselves about a better future that never seems to materialize. Through vivid imagery and relatable characters, it underscores themes of disillusionment and stagnation, as well as the coping mechanisms people use to get through their daily grind. Ultimately, it serves as a poignant reminder of how easy it is to become trapped in one's circumstances while fantasizing about escape. #SmallTownStruggles #UnfulfilledDreams #EverydayLife #CopingMechanisms
