Neon Eyes

They started out blue like an East Tennessee June sky

Full of small-town innocence, guarded by a picket fence

Perfect 'til I drove by

You were lookin' for a way out and I was on my way

Girl, once you love a cowboy, you'll never be the same

I know right now you think this is it

But I'm gonna leave you with

Neon eyes

Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache

Drinkin' off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes

Dancin' with a ghost on thе dance floor

Never rеally gettin' what you came for

Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita

Girl, I'd hate to see you with neon eyes

Right now, they're glowin' like the cigarette we just sparked

Oh, but I've seen this scene before like the lights on a liquor store

Pretty soon, they'll go dark

I know you're tired of all the same shit

That's why you think you want this

I can show you first-hand, girl, what you wish you should've missed

But if you won't take it from me

I guess you're gonna have to see through

Neon eyes

Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache

Drinkin' off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes

Dancin' with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really gettin' what you came for

Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita

Girl, I'd hate to see you with neon eyes

Neon eyes

I don't wanna be the one to say I told you so

Just let me push you away before you get too close

I can't go and make up your mind

And I don't wanna be the reason behind those

Neon eyes

Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache

Drinkin' off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes

Dancin' with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really gettin' what you came for

Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita

Girl, I'd hate to see you with neon eyes

Neon eyes
