Neon Eyes

They started out blue like an East Tennessee, June sky

Full of small town innocence guarded by a picket fence perfect till I drove by

You were looking for a way out and I was on my way

Girl, once you love a cowboy you'll never be the same

I know right now you think this is it

But I'm gonna leave you with

Neon eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache

Drinking off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave ya with neon eyes

Dancing with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really getting what you came for

Lonely lips sipping on a margarita

Girl, I'd hate to see ya with neon eyes

Right now they're glowing like the cigarette we just sparked

Aw, but I've seen this scene before like the lights on a liquor store

Pretty soon they'll go dark

I know you're tired of all the same shit, that's why you think you want this

I can show you first-hand, girl, what you wish you'd a missed

But if you won't take it from me, I guess you're gonna have to see through

Neon eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache

Drinking off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave ya with neon eyes

Dancing with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really getting what you came for

Lonely lips sipping on a margarita

Girl, I'd hate to see ya with neon eyes

Neon eyes

I don't wanna be the one to say I told you so

Just let me push you away before you get too close

I can't go and make up your mind

And I don't wanna be the reason behind those

Neon eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache

Drinking off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave ya with neon eyes

Dancing with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really getting what you came for

Lonely lips sipping on a margarita

Girl, I'd hate to see ya with neon eyes

Neon eyes
