Neon Rainbow

Daddy won a radio, tuned it to a country show
I was rockin' in the cradle, to the cryin' 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
Singin' in the bars and
CHORUS:
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream

Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream
An atlas and a coffe cup, five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston, for a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killin' me, half the time I sing for free
But when the crowd's into it, lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standin' in the spotlight
CHORUS:
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago

I made it up to Music Row, but lordy 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
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
All I've ever wanted, was to pick this guitar and sing
Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk drea
