“"Neon Repairman”…evokes Jimmy Webb’s 1968 classic “Wichita Lineman,” a tale of loneliness written for Glen Campbell….[W]ith “Neon Repairman,” Johnston…has created a conscious tribute. He even quotes the original: “And I need you more than want you, as the story goes.”
“All that was done purposeful...
{Verse 1]
I am a repairman of neon lights
Driving this town almost every night
Climbing way up where the neon’s found
And I hear you there in that neon sound
[Chorus 1]
I am a neon repairman
It’s all I’ve ever done, man
Darkness is my friend
I am a neon repairman
[Verse 1]
The Horseshoe Bar, yes I know it well
The Coffee Cup Diner and the Palm Motel
I see you everywhere in the neon glow
And I need you more than want you, as the story goes
[Chorus 2]
I am a neon repairman
Working through the night, man
And coming home at light again
I am a neon repairman
[Chorus 2]
I am a neon repairman
Working through the night, man
And coming home at light again
I am a neon repairman
[Outro}
