Texty: Bob Seger. Back In'72. Neon Sky.

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
