Jim McBride - Chasin' That Neon Rainbow lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 really ever take it this far Singing in the bars [Chorus] And chasing that neon rainbow Living that honky-tonk dream Because all I've ever wanted Is to pick this guitar and sing It's time to be somebody Just want to be heard and sing I'm chasing that neon rainbow Living that honky-tonk dream [Verse 2] And it was at a coffee cup Five pickers and an old Dodge truck Heading down to Houston for a show on Saturday night This overhead is k**ing me Half the time I sing for free When the crowd's into it, lord It makes this thing I'm doing seem right Standing in the spotlight [Chorus] [Verse 3] Now daddy's got a radio He won it thirty years ago He said; son I just know We're going to hear you singing on it some day 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]
