They started out blue like an East Tennessee, June sky
Full of small town innocence
Guarded by a picket fence perfect till I drove by
You were looking for a way out and I was on my way girl
Once you love a cowboy you'll never be the same
I know ɾight now you [A7think this is it
But I'm gonna leave you [A7with
Neon [C7]eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache
Drinking off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila
Told you [A7I'd leave ya with neon [C7]eyes
Dancing with a ghost on [C7]the dance floor
Never ɾeally gettin' what you [A7came for
Lonely lips sipping on [C7]a margarita
Girl, I'd hate to [C7]see ya with neon [C7]eyes
Right now they're glowing like [F]the cigarette we just sparked
Aw, but I've seen this scene before
Like the lights on [C7]a liquor store
Pretty soon [C7]they'll go dark
I know you're tired of all [Em]the same shit
That's why you [A7think you [A7want this
I can show you [A7first-hand, girl
What you [A7wish you'd a missed
But if you [A7won't take it from me
I guess you're gonna have to [C7]see through
Neon [C7]eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache
Drinking off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila
Told you [A7I'd leave ya with neon [C7]eyes
Dancing with a ghost on [C7]the dance floor
Never ɾeally getting what you [A7came for
Lonely lips sipping on [C7]a margarita
Girl, I'd hate to [C7]see ya with neon [C7]eyes
Neon [C7]eyes
I don't wanna be [Am]the one to [C7]say I told you [A7so
Just let me push you [A7away before you [A7get too close
I can't go and [Bm]make up your mind
And I don't wanna be [Am]the ɾeason [C7]behind those
Neon [C7]eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache
Drinking off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila
Told you [A7I'd leave ya with neon [C7]eyes
Dancing with a ghost on [C7]the dance floor
Never ɾeally getting what you [A7came for
Lonely lips sipping on [C7]a margarita
Girl, I'd hate to [C7]see ya with neon [C7]eyes
Neon [C7]eyes
Neon [C7]eyes
