Neon Star (Country Boy Lullaby)

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I'm down bad

She slammed that door and she broke my heart

That girl sure got out of town fast

She bounced so I bounced in here, tryna bounce back

Ooh, I know I probably ought to throw a couple prayers up

To the Man upstairs

Ooh, instead of watchin' this bottle that was filled up just disappear

[Chorus]

Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star

Up there hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak?

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a nеon star

[Verse 2]

Girl, it happens every damn timе

You pourin' on strong, and before too long

Just old number seven's on round nine

A lot of dive bar down time

Yeah, and ooh

I know I probably ought to throw a couple prayers up

To the Man upstairs

Ooh, instead of lettin' this heart stay beat down

Pullin' up this chair

[Chorus]

Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star

Up there hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak?

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

[Bridge]

You ain't the only one up so high

Make a little room, 'cause so am I

I need a little help gettin' sleep tonight

So I'm singin' me country boy lullaby, like

[Chorus]

Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star

Up there hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak?

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon

Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star

Up there hangin' from behind the bar

Hopin' there's a U-turn in your car

Don't know why I do, 'cause it never comes true

Hey baby, what's it gon' take

For my head to unhurt and my heart to unbreak?

Ridin' on the lightning in this jar

Sittin' there wishin' on a neon star

[Outro]

Neon star

Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star

Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star
