[Verse 1]
My mama raised me
With two jobs slaving
Still always saying, "Son, live honestly"
Though I'm ashamed now
I started stealing
And double-dealing down under neon lights

[Chorus]
Under neon lights
It sure gets bright
And you can lose your mind
Under neon lights

[Verse 2]
Now I'm older
And my son is growing
While my age is showing in a motel mirror
I'm out here playing
And losing my patience
With the lonely patrons in this old honky tonk

[Chorus]
Under neon lights
It sure gets bright
You can lose your mind
Tonight, under neon lights
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Under neon lights
It sure gets bright
And you can lose your mind
Under neon lights
Under neon lights
It sure gets bright
You can lose your mind
Under neon lights
