..: Smoke Rings In The Dark :..
by Gary Allan

Well I won't make you tell me
What I've come to understand

You're a certain kind of woman
and I'm a different kind of man


I've tried to make you love me
You've tried to find a spark
of the flame that burned
and somehow turned
to smoke rings in the dark



The loneliness within me
Takes a heavy toll

'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
through an empty aching soul

And the night is like a dagger
Long and cold and sharp

As I sit here on the front steps
Blowing smoke rings in the dark




I- I- I know I must be going
'Cause loves already gone



And all I'm taking with me are
the pieces of my heart

And all I'll leave are
smoke rings in the dark





The rain falls where it wants to
Wind blows where it will

Everything on earth goes somewhere
But I swear we're standin' still


So I'm not going to wake you
I'll go easy on your heart

I'll just touch your face and drift away
Like smoke rings in the dark



I- I- I know I must be going
'Cause loves already gone



And all I'm taking with me are
the pieces of my heart

And all I'll leave are
smoke rings in the dark
