[Verse 1]
Seventeen and signing,
My name on the line.
Dreams of boots and medals,
Tangled with time.
Her laugh in my wallet,
Her smile in my mind.
[Prechorus]
Neon sun-glasses,
Crooked and bright,
A living room dance,
In the fading light.
[Chorus]
And that picture,
It's been everywhere.
Through desert sands,
And soldiers' prayers.
Her spinning.
Her twirling.
Her carefree flair.
Neon sun-glasses,
She’s always there.
[Verse 2]
At Six years old,
She owned the whole room.
Her tiny feet stomped,
To every tune.
Had to leave her behind,
I left way too soon.
[Prechorus]
Neon sun-glasses,
Glowing so loud,
A little princess,
Without a crown.
[Chorus]
And that picture,
It's been everywhere.
Through hurricane rains,
And soldiers' prayers.
Her spinning.
Her twirling.
Her wild hair.
Neon sun-glasses,
She’s always there.
[Acoustic Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
My boots are heavy,
The nights are cold.
The stories here,
They're bitter and old.
But in my wallet,
She's spinning free.
A frozen moment,
to help my sanity.
[Prechorus]
Neon sun-glasses,
Her laugh helped me through,
Her innocence so true.
[Chorus]
And that picture,
It's been everywhere.
Through black out snow,
And soldiers' prayers.
Her spinning.
Her twirling.
Her wild hair.
Neon sun-glasses.
She’s always there.
