Well this comment just went to shit. Last thing I want to see is this priss prancing around on my TV screaming fuck in front of my children and demanding I give up my weapons.. sorry but she's just another zombie of the liberal culture regurgitating talking points. She says she's from Texas like its supposed to mean something.
***** Oh my, I did not even realize you replied to me until now. Yeah, you are 100%r right. But even Taylor's lyrics are better than a lot of these modern country artists.
Yeah, its pretty clever at the end how she compares trying to quit her dead-end job to nicotine withdrawals: "nerves ain't shot" and "hands don't shake".
@@davidrich27 To that, I can relate. Spent far too long cooking, washing dishes, yada, yada, yada. Smoked the whole time, and quit a few times during that period, but never for more than a year. Been out of that crazy business for five years, and smoke-free for four. And yeah, I'd cuss like a sailor at work (customers can't hear through walls and doors, and over the noise of the kitchen), saying I'm going to look for a new job, but I'd always show up for my next shift, without ever having looked for something better or, when finding something better, never going for it. And I'd always say that when smokes get to $x.xx/ pack, I'd quit that, too. Hehehe. I can't recall how many times the prices were raised to that exit point, or higher, yet I still kept at it.
Most people in the restaurant business can relate to this song. I've been (off and on, mostly on) a waitress for 25+ years. I love the job , hate the work, and there's a lot of nerves shaking on that job. Lol. But servers come in and from all walks of life. Never a boring profession from the waffle house to a five star white table cloth restaurant. Great song to reflect this life.
She went back to her home town of Mineola Tx last Saturday and gave one heck of a concert. Amazing thing was she gave back to the community by giving all proceeds to the local schools arts & music program.
Im a guy who only likes outlaw/classic country with a bit of 90s country throwin in and Kacey Muscgraves is one of the ONLY country artists I listen to and the only girl I listen to really. Shes damn good and is real country. I also like the nose ring- bit of flair. Not afraid to be who she is.
Got out of college without an idea of what to do in the fluid, shifting market. Though I'd figure it out. Didn't. Grew complacent in my dead-end job, months turned into years,, and eventually blew so much smoke that I burned down some friendships. And some bridges too. Preach it, Kacey. It's the story of my life, and a millennial anthem. Damn, it's sad :(.
Same! Got out of college and graduated with a Bachelor's. Thought "pursuing my dream ain't going to be cheap: better get a job." Going on 5 years at my dead-end job and I've gotten complacent. Don't even really make friends at work anymore because I've learned people talk and I'm pretty sure that they know that I'm torn between staying and going.
If you listen and understand the lyrics you will see that the song is about wanting to break the cycle, whether it be smoking, job, relationship etc. and doing what you really want to do in life, not just talking (blowin' smoke) about it. The msg in this song is a good influence on a person of any.
That's great your support is what keeps me going so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and i would love for you to join it will make me happy 😊.
Kacey Musgraves is doing more than Blowing Smoke. What a refreshing talent she is. Her music above all else is honest. She doesn't try and trick you. It's about life and how all the players move. To just peg her as a country artist does her an injustice. She's an artist anyone can appreciate. One of the best recording today.
I’ve been a fan since I first heard your music. I really like your songs and how you get real life. It’s authentic. You’re lovely to behold if I may say.
That's great your support is what keeps me going so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and i would love for you to join it will make me happy 😊.
This was shared with me 6 years ago by my dear, now departed, friend. Kasey is now my favourite singer, so thank you, Mr Wilson, for the introduction. ❤
One Word For U..EarthAngel...I didn't space just so people could say thats2 Words..I am krazy that way..I felt thee Jesus Bump thee first time I heard u!!! I wanna bless and thank u solo..life is rough,its thee Awesome Angel like Y'all that keep me go in...Luv MeloDee Faith..Or 4 ever Friend..Peace&prayz
Just being honest I didn't know who Kacey was before the Grammy's...wow I'm in love! stunning beauty & amazing talent! Taylor, Carrie, Miranda & Faith must be shaking in their boots! A New Country Princess has been Tiara'd! and she truly sounds like a country artist! ;)
Girlofpages True, Carrie knocked Faith off the perch, Taylor did the same to Carrie and now Kacey took the Tiara from Taylor...;) who will be next? or will Kacey prove to be too tough to topple?
rodeopac Girlofpages In my opinion, Kacey has a timeless sound to her(Unlike Taylor and Carrie). I'm pretty confident that years from now, when I'm 50 and dancing with my (hopefully) future wife, we'll hear this song playing in some cute but musty dance hall down some old country road :)
Caleb Goforth I like songs from Taylor, Carrie, Faith, and (of course) Kacey. Everyone has their own sound/style and like that but Kacey sounds more "country" to me. :)
She is down to Earth, and I love the in your face lyrics.... anyone who has ever been a waitress in truck stop, like me, knows this all to well. I just love the lyrics, she speaks the truth!!
Ok for every person who complains about this song "promoting cigarettes" let me just tell you something right now, this song HELPED me QUIT. Like, the actual message of the song made such a permanent impact on my state of mind, which i'll explain but if you listened to the lyrics you should already be aware, what she's saying is these peoples lives will never amount to what they truly want, and the only way that they can function realizing this is to borrow a temporary calm from a cigarette and delusions of a better future to elude drowning in their sorrow. It made me realize i was just like that and it made me so sad, and i didn't want that to happen to me or let it continue to happen to me so I immediately quit and have never looked back. this song is good, the message is good, if you want to achieve your life goals don't be like these people.
Almost the anthem of the working class. I love the witty lyrics and idioms, as they really paint the picture of no personal progress despite working every day. Some of the "dreams-gone-by" of people whom I work with in these jobs make me feel very sorry for them. We need them there, and I want them to attain their goals nonetheless. Ms. Musgraves has definitely worked in these fields, and is such an excellent communicator of their situation. Smart lady.
An ex-boyfriend of mine introduced me to Kacey's music years ago. Although I am not a big fan of country, I admire the lyrics of the songs. The words are clever, creating images that stay with the listener. Everyone can relate closely to at least one country song.
@Christopher Jude Not all that good, Chris. I just lost a friend and musical colleague of mine, Bobby Hollar, a punk rock and roller. Here's a tune of mine that is doing well internationally: ruclips.net/video/amrXlywecCA/видео.html. Hope you like it. Thanks, Chris! Take care.
When our nerves ain't shot and our hands don't shake.....That will be the day. No one wants to smoke late in life. But those hands do shake. Choice is hare to reconcile.
Blowin' smoke is NOT about smoking (insert favorite herb). It's about the lies you tell yourself just to deal with making it through your life without giving up hope or losing your mind. American Idiom: To say things that are not true in order to make yourself or something you are involved in seem better than it is.
+Dustin Hicks Indeed I can't believe there are actually people who think this is literally about smoking. Even I as a foreigner understand she is talking about sth else.
Who else is a young working class person at so called almost dead end low wage job in a small town trying to have hope even though it's hard? Cause this song resonates with me so much
That's great your support is what keeps me going so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and i would love for you to join it will make me happy 😊.
This is the most brutally honest, legitimate country song to come along in years. It's so brutally honest that alot of people don't like it because it's true to their life.
I am not a fan of country music, but I don't see why there's people who don't like Kacey Musgraves, this girl sings that type of traditional country/alternative country direction, at least this girl sings real country unlike Taylor Swift.
Get it its, weed, u guys get it, like i don't think u guys get it, its not cigarette smoke because it makes u relaxed, and like weed makes u relaxed, so u get it?
***** What? Are you and the first commentator the same person? Either way, you must be a real idiot if you can't even type "Bill Nye" into a search engine, let alone the search bar on this site.
This woman's, lyrics, style, and overall not giving a fuck has been absolute inspiration too my writing lately. Straight out of the country compton? Thank you Kacey!
Drew Chandler Wanted to give my comments credence. Thank you again. Blow me Away The transcendental location that helps me escape my space, what takes shape is only at hurried pace/ the memory to turn a new page I engage, with each step and the trail I pave. Looking at my choice or a phrase, tightens the mind around what makes me afraid. What I claim might be a mistake, but what this is I can’t fake it/I cant shake it/the feeling it turns me back to how you want me to behave…. So told a lie and made me believe, in the existence of gravity/it holds me down, when Im looking down on the trees/ you know I was made for above the canopy told that I could fly/ill give anything a try to rest my case on what it is I need to embrace the light we can shine without bowing our knees, is what is now what I see that one day I know you’ll agree The dimension of love and what we can be hate, is in the middle of the ying and the yang. Sent on to the black and the white of what I must change/ / to keep me in my cage is not where I lay, I might just rip out my fangs, there is a light in the distance /I see you out there you can’t lock me away. Here I am ready to play. The lock and the key, was opening me to being more or less clean. My energy within will be the friend to break me free/ so then certainty of what it can make of me I see the change that took place with what I have already faced. The brightness doesn’t fade / it could be an oncoming train or a devil to slain/The path is narrow to escape through the crack shedding the thick skin that hid what I lack/ you can see why I am not coming back. The resonating sounds that turns me around/ trumpets and drums, but now Ive grown numb/ with what I had found, I landed on solid new ground/ I knew what it took, seeing what our footprints left behind and the ground that they shook/The force that makes my mark was just hidden in the dark. Here I am now playing a new shadow game, until seek and you shall find becomes all the same/ When it becomes inane/ I hope it doesn’t bring me back to where I once came. My mind settles in a place that only I have seen what can be made, so from out of the shade. I lay in the bed that I made. Asleep, I hold on now to what I must keep, now I know androids dream of electric sheep. Awake now, but what I did took enough faith in what to embrace/ overcome the fear of giving in to the call, to take a leap and see if I fall/ Up in the sky no need to stay clear. and ill let the wind help me steer until I can leave this atmosphere. Copyrights"Da Vinci Apprentice" Drew Chandler
Thank you so much ladies I've been playing yours and Brandi's music for my granddaughter since they were a little there now growing open-minded and out there standing up for their beliefs to thank you for showing there are people like us out there they want to see the world progressed
Jason Scott she wasn't rich growing up. She was actually just as poor as the rest of us. The difference is she was in the right spot at the right time to get noticed and pulled out of the poor side of society. You should read up on people before you start insulting them.
Love this song!!!! just picture Kacey with bff Miranda hanging by the pool with Blake and all the dogs seriously partying it up. How coooool would it be to crash that bash???
That's great your support is what keeps me going so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and i would love for you to join it will make me happy 😊.
For you people who detest this video and song for its glorification of smoking, you should really listen to the song and hopefully realize it is a double entendre.
I love this girl ..baddass really has her own original n classy swagger..ive been practicing her songs there's all different styles ..shes so damn confident..i friggen Love Her..You Go Kasey. .your gonna be (Top The Charts)( if not Already) ..(lookout girls) ..lots of ..(Gonnba Blow You All Outta The Water)...............!!!!!!
I can say this this song inspired me to move up and move on. It has been almost 4 years since I left my dead end food industry job. I am a disabled veteran with limited earning potential due to my mental disabilities from a head injury in the military. I started my own dog training company. I now train Service Dogs for other disabled veterans. I was not going to be blowin smoke about getting un-suck any more.
Got to send this out to the girls ... that kept me fed and company MUCH LUV especially when your always on the road... “DON’T FORGET TO TIP” ... and MUCH LUV GOOD LOOKEN OUT
bigwhey maybe she used to work in a restaurant before she became famous? Another thought is maybe her parents owned a diner while she was growing up. She probably would have to help out after school and on weekends.
I'm no waitress but I work a very similar job for minimum wage and no tips. This sums up our break area in one fell swoop. I love it! Of course now everytime I hear the song, i think of work and all the crazy things my coworkers do and say. That's the life.:)
Emily Rendell right.... it hurts when secrets are so secret that nobody knows what happens if accidents occur until it's too late... I'm not that mean person everyone thinks
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 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 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
You hit the nail on the head girl I have been serving for 25 years and this song ROCKS I would love for you to help ,e promote the book I'm writing LOVE IT
+Garrett1240 pretty sure she's saying it literally and metaphorically. She is smoking in the video and says "lips wrapped round our cigarettes", "flick an ash into the tray". Seems like she's talking about smoking and "blowing smoke out of your ass" haha 😊 I could be wrong but that's what I gathered from the song.
I saw you sing this song live last night in Austin, Tx for an ACL taping....I was the big guy center stage that yelled out "Dang"..lol. You are so talented...
Kacey actually understands working class people. This type of musician doesn't come along often and even rarer for them to actually wrote about it.
ya they do, almost all musicians are working class
yep that's why I love her bc she's not embarrassed about her roots and beginning and helps me me proud of mine 😍😎
real country messages. I dont even listen to any nee country for lack there of but this is chill
@@ox8454 right the best musicians the best writers usually have lived the life of the working class and have had some of the craziest struggles thats how they have such incredibled songs from incredible raw and relatable material and life experiances its the shitty artist like bubblegum pop like jojo siwa or everytime a rich celeb becomea amusician like i love pris hilton and kim k but as muaicians they were fucking terrible cuz they had nothing relatable to talk about there then the club and most mature adults dont even like the club so ita only relatable spoiled rich kids like willie nelson loretta lynn dolly parton they all can related i mean come on coal miners daughter lol.

Well this comment just went to shit.

She says she's from Texas like its supposed to mean something.
I admire Kasey. She sings about the truth that other people are scared to admit, not to mention the fact that she has a great voice.
I’m so happy for all the success and recognition Kacey has gotten since this time when she was already a legend in my mind
❤️🤘🏼🎸
She don't get the kind of recognition that she deserves. She's only 35 years old man give her a whole lot of credit.
The double entendre use... I think she definitely is one of the best singer-songwriters in modern country today.

It's not just about smoking, it's also about the lies we tell ourselves and others. The "smoke" we blow.

Didn't know anyone was making such meaningful music in this day and age domunated by rap.
if you listen to good rap and look at the lyrics instead of the beats you will understand rap.
Listen to Hopsin, specifically ill mind of hoisin 5
I thought I didn't like country music. Thank you Kacey Musgraves
kacey makes the only country music that has come out in the past couple years that i actually like.

Blowing smoke, like every time I say I can't take it anymore!
When our nerves ain't shot and our hands don't shake.....That will be the day. No one wants to smoke late in life. But those hands do shake. Choice is hare to reconcile.
It's rare I find an artist where I like every song on the album and that's how I feel about Kaceys 2 albums
Now 3 albums :-)
This song is amazing, I'm from Colombia but I really felt connected with her roots. 🙌🏻

@@billycurrington7742 I first heard you in 2013? I believe? Ever since I first heard you.
That's great your support is what keeps me going so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and i would love for you to join it will make me happy 😊.
@@billycurrington7742 Will you announce the time/times that you will do this?
I work as a bus girl at a restaurant and so I can relate to this song SO much and I just love it
This is the most brutally honest, legitimate country song to come along in years. It's so brutally honest that alot of people don't like it because it's true to their life.
if you dont work in food- you dnot know.
What Great Song on Real Life! Kasey is So Effervescent and Writing Real Human Lyrics!
I am not a fan of country music, but I don't see why there's people who don't like Kacey Musgraves, this girl sings that type of traditional country/alternative country direction, at least this girl sings real country unlike Taylor Swift.
that moment when taylor swift has always been pop/country since her 2nd album
Marissa Slattery She has always been more pop than country, like I don't listen to this stuff at all I'm more of a rock/edm person.
thestone30080 you're 100% right lol
Umm probably because she isn't really singing at all. She's talking. Like throughout the entire thing.. I hate it. It isn't country at all.
Kiki Hurtubise Nah I don't really care, I don't listen to country at all, I'm more of a rock and electronic music fanatic.
Shes trying to lose that baby weight, and that babys about to graduate....from college😂😂😂😂 Brilliant lyrics.
100% agreed
I say that My baby is 31 LOL
Shes so refreshing!
@@98nh3609 it could still use more cowbell
one of my favorites parts of this song for sure lol
I don't work in a restaurant, but this song is the truth I work in a full service gas station. In Nashville, Tn
Kacey is so mellow in this video I can't buy that as being cigarette smoke if ya know what I mean! Also, she is outrageously gorgeous.
Get it its, weed, u guys get it, like i don't think u guys get it, its not cigarette smoke because it makes u relaxed, and like weed makes u relaxed, so u get it?
Bill Nye It is a wonder to read such an idiotic comment like that coming from someone with a user name like Bill Nye.
bubby14
Hahaha!! I was thinkin the same thing.
Youve apparently never heard the term "blowing smoke". If she writes her own lyrics, shes brilliant. The song is the definition of the idiom.
***** What? Are you and the first commentator the same person? Either way, you must be a real idiot if you can't even type "Bill Nye" into a search engine, let alone the search bar on this site.
This woman's, lyrics, style, and overall not giving a fuck has been absolute inspiration too my writing lately. Straight out of the country compton? Thank you Kacey!
Drew Chandler Wanted to give my comments credence. Thank you again.
Blow me Away
The transcendental location that helps me escape my space,
what takes shape is only at hurried pace/ the memory to turn a new page I
engage, with each step and the trail I pave. Looking at my choice or a phrase,
tightens the mind around what makes me afraid. What I claim might be a mistake,
but what this is I can’t fake it/I cant shake it/the feeling it turns me back
to how you want me to behave….
So told a lie and made me believe, in the existence of
gravity/it holds me down, when Im looking down on the trees/ you know I was
made for above the canopy
told that I could
fly/ill give anything a try
to rest my case on what it is I need to embrace
the light we can
shine without bowing our knees, is what is now what I see that one day I know
you’ll agree
The dimension of love and what we can be hate, is in the
middle of the ying and the yang. Sent on to the black and the white of what I
must change/ / to keep me in my cage is not where I lay, I might just rip out
my fangs, there is a light in the distance /I see you out there you can’t lock
me away. Here I am ready to play. The lock and the key, was opening me to being
more or less clean.
My energy within will
be the friend to break me free/ so then
certainty of what it can make of me
I see the change that took place with what I
have already faced. The brightness
doesn’t fade / it could be an oncoming train or a devil to slain/The
path is narrow to escape through the crack shedding the thick skin that hid
what I lack/ you can see why I am not
coming back.
The resonating sounds
that turns me around/ trumpets and drums, but now Ive grown numb/ with what I
had found, I landed on solid new ground/ I knew what it took, seeing what our
footprints left behind and the ground that they shook/The force that makes my mark
was just hidden in the dark.
Here I am now playing a new shadow game, until seek and you shall
find becomes all the same/ When it becomes inane/ I hope it doesn’t bring me
back to where I once came. My mind settles in a place that only I have seen
what can be made, so from out of the shade. I lay in the bed that I made.
Asleep, I hold on now to what I must keep, now
I know androids dream of electric sheep.
Awake now, but what I did took
enough faith in what to embrace/ overcome the fear of giving in to the call, to
take a leap and see if I fall/ Up in the sky no need to stay clear. and ill let the wind help me steer until I
can leave this atmosphere.

I found this song on video star 3 years ago and I'm so glad kacey has came so far she deserves it ❤😂
CONGRATS girl! You SO deserve it! You're AMAZING!!!
I LOVE HER AND HER MUSIC!!!!
Thanks for your love and support I appreciate ❤ how long have you been a Fan?..
not particularily a musgraves fan but this song is awesome. reminds me of small town life
What a great song to get through the rough times. You don't have to smoke to relate to this song. Great stuff, Kacey!
Thank you so much ladies I've been playing yours and Brandi's music for my granddaughter since they were a little there now growing open-minded and out there standing up for their beliefs to thank you for showing there are people like us out there they want to see the world progressed
Keep it up Kacey!! Great song!!
Thanks for your love and support I appreciate ❤ how long have you been a Fan?.
I love her facial expressions!
Jason Scott she wasn't rich growing up. She was actually just as poor as the rest of us. The difference is she was in the right spot at the right time to get noticed and pulled out of the poor side of society. You should read up on people before you start insulting them.
She was the BEST THERE WAS at the CMAs!
Most Awesomeness Award!
Love this song!!!! just picture Kacey with bff Miranda hanging by the pool with Blake and all the dogs seriously partying it up. How coooool would it be to crash that bash???
I'm gonna write this one time.....
-
You make me proud to be a lyricist!!! \\\m///
Kacey is gorgeous, love her voice and classic country style
Thanks for your love and support I appreciate ❤ how long have you been a Fan?..
@@billycurrington7742 You're collaboration with Josh Abbot Band in 2010 was awesome. Been a fan ever since!
That's great your support is what keeps me going so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and i would love for you to join it will make me happy 😊.
For you people who detest this video and song for its glorification of smoking, you should really listen to the song and hopefully realize it is a double entendre.
I went to saw her live this week. It was amazing! This song was one of the highlights. I hope she'll come back to The Netherlands but I'm doubtful.
I love this girl ..baddass really has her own original n classy swagger..ive been practicing her songs there's all different styles ..shes so damn confident..i friggen Love Her..You Go Kasey. .your gonna be (Top The Charts)( if not Already) ..(lookout girls) ..lots of ..(Gonnba Blow You All Outta The Water)...............!!!!!!
I can say this this song inspired me to move up and move on. It has been almost 4 years since I left my dead end food industry job. I am a disabled veteran with limited earning potential due to my mental disabilities from a head injury in the military. I started my own dog training company. I now train Service Dogs for other disabled veterans. I was not going to be blowin smoke about getting un-suck any more.
I love this song.
She seriously reminds me so much of Olivia Wilde
Some are blowing smoke that's right. Others are given their songs
Got to send this out to the girls ... that kept me fed and company MUCH LUV especially when your always on the road... “DON’T FORGET TO TIP” ... and MUCH LUV GOOD LOOKEN OUT
Still tryin to find that diner and get some BISCUITS !.....
Steve Sullivan may work it if you FOLLOW YOUR ARROW!
Freedom Maybe it's on the MERRY GO ROUND!
Best part is at 1:10 when she just says 'smoke.'
Smoke a little smoke 🙂
Her expressions are just fabulous... So subtle but fantastic, especially at 1:11.. :D :D
She captures the grind and the dreaming exactly on point
shes the most beautiful girl i have laid eyes on
I wonder if Kacey resisted the urge to stack cups during the shoot?
i dont get it, bc of the cups song? explain
Is it because you read interviews with her and found out that you has an OCD and must always neatly stack kitchenware?
I doubt it was a good guess...
bigwhey maybe she used to work in a restaurant before she became famous?
Another thought is maybe her parents owned a diner while she was growing up. She probably would have to help out after school and on weekends.
This sounds like a 90s song.
sheryl crow'ish
I'm no waitress but I work a very similar job for minimum wage and no tips. This sums up our break area in one fell swoop. I love it! Of course now everytime I hear the song, i think of work and all the crazy things my coworkers do and say. That's the life.:)
The best way of describing procrastination that I've heard yet.
As a waitress, this song rings so close to home.
Emily Rendell right.... it hurts when secrets are so secret that nobody knows what happens if accidents occur until it's too late... I'm not that mean person everyone thinks
Jainie..... she needs more attention and I'm worried about her
@@petew4779 What are you waiting for, Tiger?
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
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
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
I have perfect pitch and I was humming the key right in tune before I even played it. Hey yah!
You hit the nail on the head girl I have been serving for 25 years and this song ROCKS I would love for you to help ,e promote the book I'm writing LOVE IT
Gotta be a cool ride to have your best friend writing while you're singing and playing the good stuff.
As a smoker and almost 6 years of waitressing, I can 100% relate to this song!
Not six years but ya. This.
Kristin Murray its not about smoking. Do you even know what blowing smoke means? lol
+Abdul Khasan no babies for me, thanks
+Garrett1240 pretty sure she's saying it literally and metaphorically. She is smoking in the video and says "lips wrapped round our cigarettes", "flick an ash into the tray". Seems like she's talking about smoking and "blowing smoke out of your ass" haha 😊 I could be wrong but that's what I gathered from the song.
+Garrett1240 duh dude
I'd be eating in that diner every day if she worked there.
Also, I love the way she says smoke right around 1:12 in. So cute.
STILL tryin to find that diner and get some BISCUITS !....
Yes! I would just want to listen to her talk...just keep talking girl!
Steve Sullivan ; )
bwhahaha
WHO LOVES YOU?!!!
I didn't realize how beautiful she is on top of a really talented artist
I saw you sing this song live last night in Austin, Tx for an ACL taping....I was the big guy center stage that yelled out "Dang"..lol. You are so talented...
