Neon Heartache
Morgan Wallen
Experience the bittersweet tale of a lonesome cowboy deep in thought over lost love in Morgan Wallen's 'Neon Heartache.' This evocative country ballad captures the essence of heartache and longing in a dimly lit, beer-soaked bar room.
Verse 1:
Under the neon lights, in this beer-soaked bar room
I'm a lonesome cowboy with a broken heart, consumed
By thoughts of the lady I love but can't have
Staring at my reflection in this empty glass
Chorus:
Neon heartache, in a glow so blue
Every sip of whiskey, reminds me of you
She’s the dream I'll never hold, the story left untold
In this honky-tonk, where memories unfold
Verse 2:
Jukebox plays our favorite song, but she’s nowhere near
Laughter fills the room, but it’s all I seem to hear
Her smile was my sunshine, her laughter my song
But now she's just a memory, where did I go wrong?
Chorus:
Neon heartache, in a glow so blue
Every sip of whiskey, reminds me of you
She’s the dream I'll never hold, the story left untold
In this honky-tonk, where memories unfold
Bridge:
Bar stool confidant, you're my only friend tonight
As the cigarette smoke curls and the bar closes its lights
I’ll drown in this sorrow, till closing time will part
Hoping someday, somehow, to mend my shattered heart
Chorus:
Neon heartache, in a glow so blue
Every sip of whiskey, reminds me of you
She’s the dream I'll never hold, the story left untold
In this honky-tonk, where memories unfold
Outro:
So I'll ride out into the night, with nothing but regret
A cowboy with a heavy heart, trying to forget
Neon heartache, under these bar room lights
Hoping someday, love will make it right
