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 right now you think this is it,
But I'm gonna leave you with
Neon eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache,
Drinking off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila,
Told you I'd leave ya with neon eyes,
Dancing with a ghost on the dance floor,
Never really getting what you came for,
Lonely lips sipping on a margarita,
Girl, I'd hate to see ya with neon eyes.
Right now they're glowing like the cigarette we just sparked,
Aw, but I've seen this scene before, like the lights on a liquor store pretty soon they'll go dark,
I know you're tired of all the same shit that's why you think you want this,
I can show you first-hand, girl, what you wish you'd a missed
But if you won't take it from me, I guess you're gonna have to see through
Neon eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache,
Drinking off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila,
Told you I'd leave ya with neon eyes,
Dancing with a ghost on the dance floor,
Never really getting what you came for,
Lonely lips sipping on a margarita,
Girl, I'd hate to see ya with neon eyes,
Neon eyes.
I don't wanna be the one to say, "I told you so!"
Just let me push you away before you get too close,
I can't go and make up your mind
And I don't wanna be the reason behind those.
Neon eyes, dollar in a jukebox heartache,
Drinking off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila,
Told you I'd leave ya with neon eyes,
Dancing with a ghost on the dance floor,
Never really getting what you came for,
Lonely lips sipping on a margarita,
Girl, I'd hate to see ya with neon eyes,
Neon eyes,
Neon eyes...
