Lyrics for Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
Daddy won a radio, He 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 never thought I'd ever really take it this far. Singin' in the bars and Chasin' That Neon Rainbow Livin' that honky-tonk dream, Cause all I've ever wanted is to Pick this guitar and sing. Just tryin' to be somebody Just wanna be heard and seen. A Chasin' That Neon Rainbow Livin' that honky-tonk dream. An atlas and a coffee cup, 5 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 in to it Lord It makes this thing I'm doin' seem right. Standin' in the spotlight. Chasin' That Neon Rainbow I'm a livin' that honky-tonk dream. Cause all I've ever wanted is to Pick this guitar and sing Just tryin' to be somebody, That's want to be heard and seen, Chasin' That Neon Rainbow, Livin' that honky-tonk dream Daddy's got a radio He won it 30 years ago. He said "Son I just know we're gonna Hear you sing on it some day". I made it up to Music Row Lordy don't the wheels turn slow. Still I wouldn't trade a minute, I wouldn't have it any other way. Just show me to the stage, I'm Chasin' That Neon Rainbow, I'm a livin' that honky-tonk dream, Cause all I've ever wanted, Is to pick this guitar and sing. Just tryin' to be somebody That's wanna be heard and seen. Chasin' That Neon Rainbow, Livin' that honky-tonk dream. Oh I'm Chasin' That Neon Rainbow,
