CHASIN' THAT NEON RAINBOW

--written by Alan Jackson, Jim McBride

Daddy won a radio

Tuned it to a country show

I was rockin' in the cradle

To the cryin' of a steel guitar

Mama used to sing to me

Taught me that sweet harmony

Now she worries 'cause she never thought

I'd ever really take it this far

Singin' in the bars

Chasin' that neon rainbow

Livin' that honky tonk dream

All I've ever wanted

Was to pick this guitar and sing

Just tryin' to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

Chasin' that neon rainbow

Livin' that honky tonk dream

An atlas and a coffee cup

Five pickers in an old Dodge truck

Headin' down to Houston

For a show on Saturday night

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 doing seem right

Standin in the spotlight

Chorus

Daddy's got a radio

He won it thirty years ago

He said
