Daddy won a radio

He tuned it to a country show

I was rockin in the cradle to the cryin of the steel guitar

Mama used to sing to me

She taught me that sweet harmony

Now she worries cause she never thaught I d ever really take it this far

Singin in the bars and

Chasin that neon rainbow,

Livin that honky-tonk dream

cuz all I ve ever wanted is to pick this guitar and sing

Just tryin to be somebody

just wanna be heard and seen

I m chasin that neon rainbow

and livin that honk-tonk dream

An atlas and a coffee cup,

five pickers and an ol dodge truck

headed 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 is into it, Lord it makes this thing I m doin seem right

Standin in the spotlight

Chsin that neon rainbow,

I m livin that honky-tonk dream

Cuz all I ve ever wanted is 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 30 years ago

He saidson I just know I m gonna hear you singin 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

I m chaisin that neon rainbow

I m livin that honky-tonk dream

Cuz all I ve ever wanted is to pick this guitar and sing

Just tryin to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

I m chasin that neon rainbow,

and livin that honky-tonk dream

Oh I m chasin that neon rainbow,

Livin that honky-tonk dream
