Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I woke up and you weren't there
I'd fall apart, just sit there and stare
Up at the ceiling, watch that fan
Goin' round and round like some kind a madman
[PreChorus]
I don't know what I'd do
'Cause I'm not me without you
[Chorus]
Like neon needs the night
Like a twister needs a Tulsa sky
Every morning needs the sun to rise
Girl, I need you to shine
Like Neon, Neon needs the night
[Verse 2]
Kentucky without bourbon ain't quite the same
It wasn't Sunday without a football game
Memphis ain't Memphis if it ain't got the blues
I ain't me without you
[Chorus]
Like neon needs the night
Like a twister needs a Tulsa sky
Every morning needs the sun to rise
Girl, I need you to shine
Like Neon, Neon needs the night
[Bridge]
A thousand wild horses couldn't drag me away
I need you every day
[Outro]
Like neon needs the night
Like a twister needs a Tulsa sky
Every morning needs the sun to rise
Girl, I need you to shine
Like Neon, Neon needs the—
Neon, Neon needs the—
Neon, Neon needs the night
Needs the night, needs the night
Needs the night
Like Neon needs the night
Needs the night, needs the night
Needs the night
Like Neon needs the night
