(alan jackson/jim mcbride) Daddy won a radio Tuned it to a country show I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar Mama used to sing to me She taught me that sweet harmony Now she worries 'cause she never thought I'd ever really take it this far Singing in the bars and Chasin' the neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream 'cause all i've ever wanted Is too pick this guitar and sing Just trying to be somebody Just wanna be heard and seen Chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream An atlas and a coffe cup Five pickers in an old dodge truck Heading down to houston for a show on saturday night This overhead is k**ing me Half the time i sing for free But when the crowd's into it Lord it makes this thing i doing seem right Standing in the spotlight Chasin' the neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream 'cause all i've ever wanted Is too pick this guitar and sing Just trying to be somebody Just wanna be heard and seen Chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream Daddy's got a radio He won it thrity years ago He said 'son i just now we're gonna hear you singing on it someday' i Made it up to music row lordy don't the wheels turn slow but i wouldn't Trade a minute i wouldn't have it any other way just show me to the Stage I'm chasin' the neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream 'cause all i've ever wanted Is too pick this guitar and sing Just trying to be somebody Just wanna be heard and seen Chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream I'm chasin' the neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream
