  • she'd hide her accent, it would reappear
  • when she would brag on what daddy bought last night
  • only pretty girls were in that crowd
  • they'd tease a handful of poor kids out loud
  • and even then i knew it wasn't right
  • smoke rises,
  • you were never kind
  • good news,
  • i've left you all behind
  • some who
  • hoped that it would last
  • smoke rise, i'm glad you're in my past
  • most of the kids were better than me
  • or at least they thought so,
  • and it was plain to see
  • that children are cruel
  • and i didn't have a fighting chance
  • i wasn't a jock, i wasn't a brain
  • we weren't well-off and mama couldn't explain
  • why no one would take a poor boy to the dance
  • smoke rises,
  • you were never kind
  • good news,
  • i've left you all behind
  • some who,
  • hoped that it would last
  • smoke rise, i'm glad you're in my past
  • those bold rich kids find it hard to embrace
  • when they bus black kids in from all over the place
  • the county tried to prove their schools were all the same
  • old jim crow tried to integrate
  • but in the south its hard to relate
  • when grandpa used the n-word with no shame
  • oh, smoke rises,
  • you were never kind
  • good news,
  • i've left you all behind
  • some who,
  • hoped that it would last
  • smoke rise, i'm glad you're in my past
