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 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 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
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
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 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
