Smoke And Mirrors

On the one hand I could have my angel Who would be there and love me for all time A small town girl I really was in love with And live the life our families had in mind Or I could play my songs in smoky night clubs Chase after my reflected fantasy They said I had what it takes in Nashville To be everything I wanted to be So I chose Smoke and mirrors Iffy promises and dreams Today it can't be any clearer What they call success ain't what it seems Now I'd give every dollar they keep paying me If I could have you back and never see Smoke and mirrors And I got why you couldn't share my vision And I got why you had to let me go Now what I'm seeing in that rearview mirror I just somehow wanted you to know Smoke and mirrors Iffy promises and dreams Can't bring you any nearer What they call success ain't what it seems And I'd give every dollar they keep paying me If I could have you back and never see Smoke and mirrors
