Neon Star (Country Boy Lullaby)

Yeah, I'm down bad

She slammed that door, she broke my heart, that girl so got

Out of town fast, she bounced

So I bounced in here, try'na bounce back

Ooh, I know I probably ought to throw a couple prayers up

To the man upstairs

Ooh, instead of watchin' this bottle that was filled up just disappear

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Hope they're hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Girl, it happens every damn time

You pourin' up strong, and before too long

Just old number seven's on round nine

A lot of down bar bad time

Yeah, and ooh

I know I probably ought to throw a couple prayers up

To the man upstairs

Ooh, instead of lettin' this heart stay beat down

Pullin' up this chair

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Hope they're hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

You ain't the only one up so high

Make a little room, 'cause so am I

I need a little help gettin' sleep tonight

So I'm singin' me country boy lullaby, like

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Hope they're hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Hope they're hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Neon star

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star
