Blowin' Smoke

Between the lunch and dinner rush

Kelly caught that outbound bus for Vegas

And 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, or five to ten and longer

And Brenda's traded smokes for cake

Still hadn't lost that baby weight

And that baby's 'bout to graduate from college

I just flick an 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
