Lyrics

NEON LIGHTS & SUMMERTIME NIGHTS

I WORKED ALL WEEK AND I EARNED MY PAY
NOW THE JOB'S ALL DONE AND I WANNA PLAY
GONNA GET MY GIRL, AIN'T SEEN HER ALL WEEK
CAN'T WAIT TIL WE'RE DANCIN CHEEK TO CHEEK

WITH HER LONG BLOND HAIR, BLOWIN IN THE BREEZE
I GOT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL, IN MY '94 GMC

CHORUS:
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
GOIN DOWN TO THE CITY GONNA SEE THE SIGHTS
TWO STEP DANCIN THEN SOME COTTON EYE JOE
'FORE THE NIGHT IS OVER WE'LL BE DANCIN SLOW
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
GOTTA GET HER HOME TO DADDY SO HE AIN'T UPTIGHT
A GOODNIGHT KISS BY HER FRONT PORCH LIGHT
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS

THIS WORK I DO WON'T MAKE ME RICH
IT'S AN HONEST MAN'S JOB, PROBABLY NEVER SWITCH
BUT WHEN SATURDAY COMES, YOU KNOW WHERE I'LL BE
GONNA HIT THE ROAD, JUST MY BABY AND ME

HER LONG BLOND HAIR, BLOWIN IN THE BREEZE
SHE SLIDES UP NEXT TO ME, IN MY '94 GMC

CHORUS:
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
GOIN DOWN TO THE CITY GONNA SEE THE SIGHTS
TWO STEP DANCIN THEN SOME COTTON EYE JOE
'FORE THE NIGHT IS OVER WE'LL BE DANCIN SLOW
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
GOTTA GET HER HOME TO DADDY SO HE AIN'T UPTIGHT
A GOODNIGHT KISS BY HER FRONT PORCH LIGHT
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS

BRIDGE:
SOME FOLKS MIGHT THINK I'VE GOT A POOR MAN'S LIFE
BUT I'VE GOT MORE THAN MONEY, AND I HOPE SHE'S GONNA BE MY WIFE

CHORUS:
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
GOIN DOWN TO THE CITY GONNA SEE THE SIGHTS
TWO STEP DANCIN, THEN SOME COTTON EYE JOE
'FORE THE NIGHT IS OVER WE'LL BE DANCIN SLOW
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
GOTTA GET HER HOME TO DADDY FORE HE GETS UPTIGHT
A GOODNIGHT KISS BY HER FRONT PORCH LIGHT
NEON LIGHTS AND SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
SUMMERTIME NIGHTS
