Behind the Neon Glow

[Verse] In a small-town dive, down off Highway 9, Where the truckers pull in, 'round suppertime, There's a neon sign that flickers and hums, "Adult Entertainment," where the lost ones come. [Verse 2] She grew up down the road, Daisy was her name, Dreams of Broadway lights, but fell in the game, Behind the curtain of that stage so cold, She dances to forget the dreams she once sold. [Chorus] Under the neon glow, where the secrets lie, Folks come and go, dreams flicker and die, In this smoky room, hearts hang low, Life in the shadows, behind the neon glow. [Verse 3] There's Jimmy at the bar, nursing his last beer, Chasing some memory, whispering in tears, He loved a girl, but she slipped away, Into the arms of that cold charade. [Verse 4] Across the floor, old Pete plays guitar, Singing about heartache, from a life afar, His strings tell tales of betrayal and sin, Of nights spent alone, and where they begin. [Chorus] Under the neon glow, where the secrets lie, Folks come and go, dreams flicker and die, In this smoky room, hearts hang low, Life in the shadows, behind the neon glow.
