All The Neon Lights Are Blue

by Mickey Newbury

on Blue To This Day (2012)

Theres a place I have not seen
Somewhere down the road
And all my life it has been calling me
To pack my bags and go
From the hills of West Virginia
To the fields of Idaho
Oh that old highway is calling me

So its one more song of hearts and flowers
One more night of lonely hours
One more mile of winding highway
One more day of new beginnings
Wheels are hummin'
Ahhh

Dancing diamonds midnight cities
In the shadows all the pretties
All the suckers all the liars
All the truckin' shuck and jivers
Cruisin' down the avenue
Suddenly I saw the truth
I know what I never knew
All the neon lights are blue
Wheel are hummin'
Ahhh

He said all we need is love
Callously I shot the dove
And I nailed it to a twisted tree
I said you cannot fly now you are free
One more song of hearts and flowers
One more night of lonely hours
One more mile of winding highway
One more day of new beginnings

Cruisin' down the avenue
Suddenly I saw the truth
I know what I never knew
All the neon lights are blue
Wheels are hummin'
Ahhh

One more song of hearts and flowers
One more night of lonely hours
One more mile of winding highway
One more day of new beginnings
Always on the road it seems
Chasing after some old dream
Always just around the bend
Ah but this old highway never ends
