Tuned it to a country show 
 I was rocking in the cradle to the crying 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 
 Singing in the bars and 
  
 Chasin' the neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream 
 'Cause all I've ever wanted 
 Is too pick this guitar and sing 
 Just trying to be somebody 
 Just wanna be heard and seen 
 Chasin' that neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream 
  
 An atlas and a coffe cup 
 Five pickers in an old Dodge truck 
 Heading down to Houston for a show on Saturday night 
 This overhead is killing me 
 Half the time I sing for free 
 But when the crowd's into it 
 Lord it makes this thing I doing seem right 
 Standing in the spotlight 
  
 Chasin' the neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream 
 'Cause all I've ever wanted 
 Is too pick this guitar and sing 
 Just trying to be somebody 
 Just wanna be heard and seen 
 Chasin' that neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream 
  
 Daddy's got a radio 
 He won it thrity years ago 
 He said 'Son I just now we're gonna hear you singing on it someday' I 
 made it up to Music Row Lordy don't the wheels turn slow But I wouldn't 
 trade a minute I wouldn't have it any other way Just show me to the 
 stage 
  
 I'm chasin' the neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream 
 'Cause all I've ever wanted 
 Is too pick this guitar and sing 
 Just trying to be somebody 
 Just wanna be heard and seen 
 Chasin' that neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream 
 I'm chasin' the neon rainbow 
 Livin' that honky tonk dream
