Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm down bad
She slammed that door and she broke my heart
That girl sure got outta town fast
She bounced, so, I bounced in here tryna bounce back
[PreChorus]
Ooh, I know I probably oughta 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 lightnin' in this jar
Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star
[Verse 2]
Girl, it happens every damn time
You pour it on strong and before too long
This old number 7's on round nine
A lot of dive bar downtime
[PreChorus]
Yeah
And ooh, I know I probably oughta 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 lightnin' in this jar
Sittin' here 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 a 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 lightnin' in this jar
Sittin' here wishin' on a neon
[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 lightnin' in this jar
Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star
[Outro]
Neon star
Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star
Sittin' here wishin' on a neon star
