Allan, Gary - Smoke Rings In The Dark Lyrics






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're tried to find a spark of the flame that burned and
Somehow turned to smoke ring 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

    November 2019, listening to a few old favorites and reminded of this, which is one of my all time favorites. I had just listened to Marty Robbins singing Ghost Riders in the Sky and remembered how this song always sounded like a cross between that and San Francisco by Scott McKenzie, so I listened to all three. What great music.

    L.... G....

    Johnny Horton and Elvis remind me of me and my dad this Gary is fabulous

  22. G.... l....

    Saw him Saturday night in Tupelo, MS. When he walked out in his trademark cowboy hat to perform 'Smoke Rings', the crowd went wild. Definitely my favorite song.

    This is my life. I been through hell the past 2 years. I was in a abusive relationship and I still stood by him. But now things are different and he is on his meds he a completley different person. But I fell out of love with him. This song is how i feel inside. But I dont want to hurt him.

  67. B.... S....

    When I was in high school, I used to stay up into the wee hours in bed with my headphones plugged into my boombox waiting for the radio station to play this song before I got the CD. Refused to sleep until I heard it at least once every night.

  79. j.... ....

    The song that instantly made me a fan of Gary Allan! This was always one of my favorite songs that was playing on the radio throughout the Fall of 1999 and the Winter of 2000. I just loved the beautiful, haunting melody, Gary's unique vocals, and the fact that it sounded like nothing else on the radio at the time. Every time I heard it, I couldn't wait to hear it again. To me, this will always be his signature song!

  80. L.... T....
