Chasin' That Neon Rainbow

Lyrics

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
