New lipstick on that highball glass
Sitting right next to mine
Yeah she don’t know that my eyes are sad
‘Cause that Bud Light sign
Don’t shine on the truth baby
It’s camouflaging my broken heart
I miss you like crazy
Said baby maybe that’s what neon lights are for
So lonely people slide inside them dive bar doors
Let the blue hide the blues
Red rose color the pain
Tears and beers go together
Kinda like crying and the rain
I got a drunk smile in the purple smoke
Yeah she can’t tell my heart’s broke
Pretending while we spinning on this floor
Just drinking thinking baby
Maybe that’s what neon lights are for
Yeah I’ve had too much to think
I drink her name is Kristy
That roll and rock green light
Even makes that cigarette smoke look pretty
Where a 3 looks like a 7
And a 10 looks like a 8
They might go home together
Girl just wait
(Repeat chorus)
Woo woo woo
Woo woo
Woo woo
Woo woo woo
Woo woo
Woo woo
Woo
I got a drunk smile in the purple smoke
Yeah she can’t tell my heart’s broke
Pretending while we spinning on this floor
Just drinking thinking baby
Maybe that’s what neon lights are for
Woo woo woo
Yeah I’m just thinking baby
Maybe that’s what neon lights are for
