“This song was just fun to write. I had the Oklahoma Smokeshow part stuck in my head for days. A song is each persons to interpret, but I wrote it around the concept of growing up in a small town and no one really ever leaving. It’s not meant to be rude towards small town folks either. I’m a small town Oklahoman and I’m proud of that, but I was just trying to make it feel spacey and tell the story of a lot of small town bar scenes and the rowdiness of it all, and the longing to be with someone you might never have” – Zach Bryan

[Verse 1]
Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like
I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight
You always wind up here in a puddle of tears

[Verse 2]
Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood
In the back of a blue old pickup truck
You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up

[Verse 3]
There's so much whiskey in his coke it'll make her nose bend
But she swears that his love is a damn God sent
She's known God since she was a child


[Verse 4]
She used to play in the yard and she would drеam of one day
Til the world came around and took hеr dreamin' away
Told her how to dress and act and smile

[Bridge]
She's an Oklahoma smokeshow
He's an asshole from back home
She won't ever make it out alive

[Bridge]
That small town bar scene
Where small vices kill your big dreams
He'd take you home but he's too drunk to drive

[Chorus]
I'll be here, I've been up all night
Thinkin' about a life with you and I
One you'll never know
'Cause you're a small town smokeshow

[Chorus]
Well I'll be here, I've been up all night
Thinkin' about a life with you and I
One you'll never know
'Cause you're a small town smokeshow
