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

she 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 try'na be somebody

just wanna be heard and seen

I'm chasin' that neon rainbow

livin' that honky tonk dream

An Atlas and a coffee cup

five pickers in

an old dodge truck

headin' down to Houston

for a show on Saturday night

Well, this overhead

is killin' me

half the time, I sing for free

when the crowd's into it

Lord, it makes this thing

I'm doin' seem right

Standin' in the spotlight

chasin' that neon rainbow

I'm livin' that

honky tonk dream

'cause all I've ever wanted

is to pick this guitar and sing

Just try'na be somebody

just wanna be heard and seen

I'm chasin' that neon rainbow

livin' that honky tonk dream

Daddy's got a radio

he won it thirty years ago

he said, son

I just know we're gonna hear

you singin' on it some day

Well, 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 livin' that

honky tonk dream

'cause all I've ever wanted

is to pick this guitar and sing

Just try'na be somebody

just wanna be heard and seen

I'm chasin' that neon rainbow

livin' that honky tonk dream

Oh, I'm chasin'

that neon rainbow

livin' that honky tonk dream
