[Verse 1]
They started out blue like an East Tennessee June sky
Full of small-town innocence
Guarded by a picket fence
Perfect 'til I drove by
You were lookin' 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
[Chorus]
Neon eyes
Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache
Drinkin' off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila
Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes
Dancin' with a ghost on thе dance floor
Never rеally gettin' what you came for
Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita
Girl, I'd hate to see you with neon eyes
[Verse 2]
Right now, they're glowin' 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'da missed
But if you won't take it from me
I guess you're gonna have to see through
[Chorus]
Neon eyes
Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache
Drinkin' off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila
Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes
Dancin' with a ghost on the dance floor
Never really gettin' what you came for
Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita
Girl, I'd hate to see you with neon eyes
Neon eyes
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Neon eyes
Dollar-in-a-jukebox heartache
Drinkin' off a dive bar highway
Thick smoke soaked up in tequila
Told you I'd leave you with neon eyes
Dancin' with a ghost on the dance floor
Never really gettin' what you came for
Lonely lips sippin' on a margarita
Girl, I'd hate to see you with neon eyes
Neon eyes
