Neon Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain slicks the gravel street
Echoes of my restless feet
Four years of a highway song
Trying to prove that I was strong
The brass handle feels so cold
Same stories getting old
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re still wiping down the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
Thought I’d hate this dusty air
But I’m glad you’re still there
[Chorus]
So clink that bottle to the light
Making peace with the night
Neon grace
Amber gold
Truths that never quite get old
I’m back where the river flows
Where everybody knows
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, the Hammond’s humming low
Nowhere left for me to go
Just a little neon grace
In this holy, dusty place
[Verse]
You haven't moved an inch
Face tight in a stubborn pinch
"I told you so" is in your eyes
Underneath those local skies
I was angry, I was loud
Just another head in the cloud
[Pre-Chorus]
I called this town a cage
Just a blank and empty page
But the ink is running deep
Promises I meant to keep
[Chorus]
So clink that bottle to the light
Making peace with the night
Neon grace
Amber gold
Truths that never quite get old
I’m back where the river flows
Where everybody knows
[Bridge]
The B3 starts to moan and wail
I was the wind, you were the sail
No, you were the anchor in the mud
Keeping the rhythm in my blood
G major turns to minor blue
Everything I thought I knew
[Verse]
The horn section starts to swell
Got a story left to tell
You just smile and nod your head
To the words we never said
Long-neck bottle, sweat and ice
Small-town living feels so nice
I was running from a ghost
Now I’m back to raise a toast
[Chorus]
So clink that bottle to the light
Making peace with the night
Neon grace
Amber gold
Truths that never quite get old
I’m back where the river flows
Where everybody knows
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, the Hammond’s humming low
Nowhere left for me to go
Just a little neon grace
In this holy, dusty place
[Outro]
