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 just flick an ash into the tray,
Tell them both it'll be okay.
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.
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.
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.
