lyrics

She works at the Walmart
In Gorham, New Hampshire
She can see the mountains
From the parking lot

There’s a Winnebago parked
Near the carriage corral
She leans on the railing
And lights a Doral

The smoke from her cigarette
Billows up on the air
It’s her own smoke signal
To the world out there

She had a lover
A small town man
He had his own wood shop
He worked with his hands

By his wood stove in the shop
They made their plans
Even her a dad said
You found a good man

The smoke through the chimney
Billowed up on the air
Their own smoke signal
To the world out there

If you drive up old route sixteen
There’s an old ski jump you’ve probably seen
Two hundred feet it stretches up in the air
One Spring evening, he took her there

Under the trestles
Where the grass grew long
They sat by a fire
And he played her a song

She remembers every moment
Of that wonderful night
In the shadow of the past
And the firelight

The campfire smoke
Billowed up on the air
The lovers’ smoke signal
To the world out there
