Green Paint & Neon Lights

Sun comin’ up on a red dirt row,

Diesel hummin’ soft and low.

John Deere green in the mornin’ shine,

Same old fields, same family line.

Daddy taught me how to work that land,

One hand steady, one on the plan.

Chorus

It’s green paint and neon lights,

Farm work days, bull-ridin’ nights.

From plowin’ straight lines in the Texas clay

To hangin’ on tight when the gate swings away.

Yeah, I earn my keep by sweat and grit,

Between a tractor seat and an eight-second hit.

Verse 2

Clock hits five, dust on my boots,

Town’s lightin’ up, hear the jukebox roots.

Cold Lone Star, sawdust floor,

Fiddle cuts sharp like it always did before.

Mama says pray, girl says don’t be late,

Bull’s snortin’ mad behind that gate.

Chorus

It’s green paint and neon lights,

Farm work days, bull-ridin’ nights.

From balin’ hay ‘til the sun burns white

To a wild-eyed ride under Friday night lights.

Yeah, I earn my keep by sweat and grit,

Between a tractor seat and an eight-second hit.

Bridge

Some men chase gold, some chase fast lanes,

I chase dirt roads and rodeo pain.

If I get thrown, I’ll climb back on,

Same way I do when the crops go wrong.

Honky-Tonk Breakdown (Half-Time Swing)

Steel guitar cryin’, boots on wood,

If it don’t hurt a little, it ain’t no good.

Final Chorus

Yeah, it’s green paint and neon lights,

Calloused hands, no alibis.

If I go down or stand up tall,

I’ll still punch that clock come mornin’ call.

Raised on faith, hard work, and grit,

Livin’ life somewhere between the plow and the pit.

Outro

John Deere hums, bar lights dim,

That’s a Texas livin’—and I’m all in.
