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
