Standard (EADGBE)

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,she taught me that sweet harmony

Now she worries cause she never thought, I'd ever really take it this far

Singin' in the bars and

Chorus

Chasin' that neon rainbow, livin' that honky tonk dream

Cause 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 coffe 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

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 drea
