  • The sky in Cheyenne, Wyoming
    Is just about as blue as it gets
    And if you ain't seen a Santa Fe sunset,
    You ain't seen red
    Texas sunflower yellow
    Can take your breath away
    I've seen it all
    From the orange of the fall
    To the green of the summer,
    But my favorite color is

    Neon, the light they always leave on
    A weekend on the rocks
    And an old school jukebox
    With a little Johnny Lee on
    The buzz I love to be on
    You put a double on your troubles on line
    This end of the tunnel is neon

    The sun can do the job in the daytime
    But the moon ain't quite bright enough
    To light up the way to playtime for people like us
    Just like a beach side beacon
    Callin' all the ships back home
    A few thousand volts to cut through the smoke
    The windows are tinted
    That's why they invented

    Neon, the light they always leave on
    The weekend on the rocks
    An old school jukebox
    With a little Johnny Lee on
    It's the buzz I love to be on
    You put a double on your troubles on line
    This end of the tunnel is always neon

    You know I've seen it all
    From the orange of the fall
    To the green of the summer,
    But my favorite color is

    Neon, the light they always leave on
    Put a double on your troubles
    This end of the tunnel is neon Writer/s: Josh Osborne, Shane L McAnally, Trevor Rosen
