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 Under neon lights It sure gets bright And you can lose your mind Under neon lights 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 Under neon lights It sure gets bright You can lose your mind Tonight Under neon lights 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
