Chasin That Neon Rainbow — текст песни (Jackson Alan)

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 Son I just know we`re gonna hear you singin`
on it someday
I made it up to Music Row
But Lordy don`t the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn`t trade a minute
And I wouldn`t have it any other way
Just show me to the stage
Chorus
I`m chasin` that neon rainbow
Livin` that honky tonk dream
