Chasin' That Neon Rainbow

Daddy won a radio, he tuned it to a country show

I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar

Mama used to sing to me

She taught me that sweet harmony

Now she worries 'cause she never thought I'd ever really take it this far

Singing in the bars and chasing that neon rainbow

Living that honky-tonk dream

'Cause all I've ever wanted is to pick this guitar and sing

Just trying to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

I'm chasing that neon rainbow

Living that honky-tonk dream

An atlas and a coffee cup

Five pickers in an old Dodge truck

Heading down to Houston for a show on Saturday night

Well, his overhead is killing me, half the time I sing for free

When the crowd's into it, lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem right

Standing in the spotlight and chasing that neon rainbow

I'm-a living that honky-tonk dream

'Cause all I've ever wanted is to pick this guitar and sing

Just trying to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

I'm chasing that neon rainbow

Living that honky-tonk dream

Daddy's got a radio

He won it 30 years ago

He said, "Son I just know we're going to hear you singing on it some day"

Well, I made it up to Music Row

Lord, don't the wheels turn slow?

Still, I wouldn't trade a minute and I wouldn't have it any other way

Just show me to the stage, I'm chasing that neon rainbow

I'm-a living that honky-tonk dream

'Cause all I've ever wanted is to pick this guitar and sing

Just trying to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

I'm chasing that neon rainbow

Living that honky-tonk dream

Oh, I'm chasing that neon rainbow

Living that honky-tonk dream
