Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My daddy won a radio, he 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
[Chorus]
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
'Cause all I've ever wanted is to pick this guitar and sing
Just trying to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
[Verse 2]
An atlas and a coffee cup, five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston for a show on Saturday night
Well, 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
[Chorus]
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 trying to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
[Verse 3]
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago
He said, "Son, I just know we're gonna hear you singing on it someday"
Well, I made it up to music row, Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute, I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage
[Chorus]
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 trying to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
Oh, I'm chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
