Daddy won a radio
He turned it to a country show
I was rockin' in the cradle
to the cryin' 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
Singin' in the bars and
chasin' that neon rainbow
I'm livin' that
honky tonk dream
'Cause all I've ever wanted
was to pick this guitar
and sing
Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
An atlas and a coffee cup
Five pickers and
an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston
for a show on Saturday night
But this overhead is killin' me
Half the time I sing for free
But when the crowd's into it
Lord it makes this thing
I'm doin' seem right
Standin' in the spotlight
chasin' that neon rainbow
I'm livin' that
honky tonk dream
'Cause all I've ever wanted
was to pick this guitar
and sing
Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
Daddy's got a radio
He won it thirty years ago
He said son I just know
We're gonna hear you
singin' on it someday
I made it up to Music Row
But Lordy don't
the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute
And I wouldn't have
it any other way
Just show me to the stage
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
I'm livin' that
honky tonk dream
'Cause all I've ever wanted
was to pick this guitar
and sing
Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
