Words and music by bob seger
There’s the neon sky that I know so well
There’s the smoky room where I chose to dwell
Though I hear your heart many miles away
The neon sky tells me I must stay
Through the windy field of another land
I have seen your face, girl, I have held your hand
Though I should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that I must stay
Cause the devil’s red, but his money’s green
That’s where I’m from, oh, that’s where I’ve been
On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still I hope you know
That there’ll come a day with the neon sky
When we’ll walk into the sun, you and i
Yes so he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so I must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away
Yes, the devil’s red, but his money’s green
That’s where I’m from, oh, that’s where I’ve been
There’s the neon sky that I know so well
There’s the smoky room where I chose to dwell
Though I hear your heart many miles away
The neon sky tells me I must stay
Through the windy field of another land
I have seen your face, girl, I have held your hand
Though I should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that I must stay
Cause the devil’s red, but his money’s green
That’s where I’m from, oh, that’s where I’ve been
On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still I hope you know
That there’ll come a day with the neon sky
When we’ll walk into the sun, you and i
Yes so he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so I must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away
Yes, the devil’s red, but his money’s green
That’s where I’m from, oh, that’s where I’ve been
