Neon Eyes

[Verse 1]

They started out blue like an East Tennessee June sky

Full of small-town innocence

Guarded by a picket fence

Perfect 'til I drove by

You were lookin' 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

[Chorus]

Neon eyes

Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache

Drinkin' off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes

Dancin' with a ghost on thе dance floor

Never rеally gettin' what you came for

Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita

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

[Verse 2]

Right now, they're glowin' 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'da missed

But if you won't take it from me

I guess you're gonna have to see through

[Chorus]

Neon eyes

Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache

Drinkin' off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes

Dancin' with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really gettin' what you came for

Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita

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

Neon eyes

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Neon eyes

Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache

Drinkin' off a dive bar highway

Thick smoke soaked up in tequila

Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes

Dancin' with a ghost on the dance floor

Never really gettin' what you came for

Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita

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

Neon eyes

Neon eyes
