G C
Daddy won a radio, tuned it to a country show
D C D
I was rockin' in the cradle, to the cryin' of a steel guitar
G C
Mama used to sing to me, taught me that sweet harmony
D C G
Now she worries cause she never thought,
I'd ever really take it this far
D
Singin' in the bars
CHORUS:
G C G
Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream
G Bm Em A D
All I've ever wanted, was to pick this guitar and sing
C G C A
Just tryin' to be somebody, just wanna be heard and seen
C D G C A D G
Chasin' that neon rainbow, Livin' that honky tonk dream
G C
An atlas and a coffe cup, five pickers in an old Dodge truck
D C D
Headin' down to Houston, for a show on Saturday night
G C
This overhead is killin' me, half the time I sing for free
D C G
But when the crowd's into it, lord it makes this thing
I'm doing seem alright
D
Standin' in the spotlight
G C
Daddy's got a radio, he won it thirty years ago
D C D
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin'
on it someday"
G C
I made it up to Music Row, but lordy don't the wheels turn slow
D C G
Still I wouldn't trade a minute, and I wouldn't have it
any other way
D
Just show me to the stage
