Neon Angels

High heels on a gravel drive

Engine rumblin’, Friday night

Small-town talk don’t scare ‘em none

They been trouble since they were young

Lipstick loud, eyes like fire

Don’t need luck, don’t ask for favors

They ain’t here to play it clean

They’re headed straight for the neon scene

Neon angels in a pickup bed

Radio blarin’, whiskey breath

Headed downtown, boots on the dash

Laughin’ like they don’t look back

They don’t pray for a quiet life

They want loud guitars and flashing lights

Yeah, they’re rollin’ hard, hearts on display

Neon angels runnin’ the night away

Bartender knows ‘em by their smiles

Says, “Y’all been gone a while”

Pool balls crack, the floorboards shake

Every rule’s theirs to bend or break

They dance like the world don’t watch

Like tomorrow ain’t promised or bought

Every stare just fuels the flame

They own the night, don’t need a name

Neon angels at the corner bar

Cheap drinks, stars in mason jars

Shotgun laughs, midnight calls

Boots hittin’ hard on barroom floors

They don’t wait on permission slips

They take the ride and let it rip

Yeah, they’re burnin’ bright, no shame

Neon angels with gasoline veins

They’ve been called too much, too wild, too fast

But they ain’t built for livin’ in the past

If lovin’ loud’s a mortal sin

They’ll do it twice and smile again

Neon angels when the sun comes up

Mascara runnin’, still not done

Headlights fade down a county line

Another night they’ll never rewind

If heaven’s quiet, they won’t stay

They’ll take hell with a band that plays

Yeah, they don’t fade, they don’t fall

Neon angels outlivin’ it all

When the bar lights die and the town sleeps in

You can still hear ‘em on the wind
