You got it...it was Smoke from a Distant fire...one of my all time favs..you're up!!
Do not recall the band, but the jukebox in my head is playing a song with the followup line "...eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire."
'tis fun - Pip
OK, here's another
"I know where you go to, I knew when you came home last night..."
One of the genres I learned to like as a child was old time Western music, aka Cowboy music.
We sang the old standards in school like "Chisholm Trail," "Back in the Saddle," "Streets of Laredo" and "Cool Water."
One artist my dad especially liked was Tex Ritter.
I probably heard "Blood on the Saddle" (from which the last lyrics I quoted came) when I was an infant.
So, how about?
"Special knowledge holds true bears believing"
OK, it was Hoyt Axton right?? Della and the dealer and the dog as well and a cat named kalamazoo......
Thinking of what I wrote earlier:
"And he never will ride any broncos no more"
He was an amazing songwriter as was his mother too. Elvis, 3 Dog Night, Ringo, Steppenwolf and the list goes on were just a few of the ones who benefited from his music talent. I figured you would know this one!!!
I know the song writer, lots of bands preformed his work.
I did have to "Google" this, however; had to, neat lyric I did not recall.
thanks - Pip
(BTW: They don't abuse it, never gonna lose it; I can't refuse it. ;-)

Music has been much a part of my life, mostly as a listener; from 50's Rock and Roll to Grindcore Metal, Classical from Baroque to modern era, Country and Western (particularly "Cowboy" singers), Bluegrass, swing, jazz, blues, folk...not so much disco, rap or modern corporate country.
