This song is about a relationship gone bad. The girl he was broke it off. He is moving on and just wants to leave town. "Hanging my hopes on highway signs." Everything he wanted or dreamed about he has to leave behind while driving on the highway. He explains there is no way he can get the love back. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. Just like putting smoke back in a cigarette.
