Bob Seger – Neon Sky lyrics

Album: Back in '72

Words and Music by Bob Seger
THERE'S THE NEON SKY THAT I KNOW SO WELL
THERE'S THE SMOKY ROOM WHERE I CHOSE TO DWELL
THOUGH I HEAR YOUR HEART MANY MILES AWAY
THE NEON SKY TELLS ME I MUST STAY

THROUGH THE WINDY FIELD OF ANOTHER LAND
I HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE, GIRL, I HAVE HELD YOUR HAND
THOUGH I SHOULD BE THERE, WITH YOU THERE TODAY
THE NEON SKY KNOWS THAT I MUST STAY

CAUSE THE DEVIL'S RED, BUT HIS MONEY'S GREEN
THAT'S WHERE I'M FROM, OH, THAT'S WHERE I'VE BEEN

ON A DUSTY STAGE, MANY YEARS AGO,
I CHOSE MY ROAD, STILL I HOPE YOU KNOW
THAT THERE'LL COME A DAY WITH THE NEON SKY
WHEN WE'LL WALK INTO THE SUN, YOU AND I

YES SO HE CALLS, BECKONS UNTO ME
FROM THE EMPTY HALL, FROM THE GALLERIES
AND SO I MUST GO, LEAVE YOU HERE TODAY
CAUSE THE NEON SKY ORDERS ME AWAY
YES, THE DEVIL'S RED, BUT HIS MONEY'S GREEN
THAT'S WHERE I'M FROM, OH, THAT'S WHERE I'VE BEEN
