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 gui – tar
[ 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 some – body , just wanna be heard and seen
[ C ] [ D ] [ G ] [ C ] [ A ] [ D ] [ G ]
chasin’ that neon rain – bow , 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 right
[ D ]
standin’ in the spotlight
