Alan Jackson - Chasin' That Neon Rainbow lyrics

 

Daddy won a radio and 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 tryin' to 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 

This overhead is killin' me, half the time I sing for free 

But when the crowd's into it Lord it makes this thing I'm doing 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 tryin' to 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 someday" 

I made it up to Music Row, but Lordy don't the wheels turn slow 

Still I wouldn't take a minute and 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 tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen 

Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream

I'm chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
