Beyond the Blue Neon

(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson)



Swingin' doors, sawdust floors

A heartache drowns as the whiskey poors

There's a hole in the wall from some free for all

The ringin' crack of that ol' cue ball

I been fallin' in here for what seems like years

Where the tears and the lonely belong

And wonder whats goin' on beyond that blue neon.



I hear tell there's people out there

Who don't know what losin' you means

They don't have a heart that just falls apart

At the mention of your name

I've heard they pretend the world didn't end

Right when I knew you were gone

I guess life still goes on beyond that blue neon.

I hear tell there's people out there

Who don't know what losing you means

They don't have a heart that just falls apart

At the mention of your name

Well it's a quarter 'til two and I don't have a clue

As to what I'll do from now 'til dawn

I'll wonder what's goin' on beyond that blue neon.



Lord, what's goin' on beyond that blue neon...
