The cold hard truth
Lives inside these four walls
Her shadow's in every room
She echos down these halls
Her memory's too strong to fight
Reality's too hard to face
So I spend every night
In a barstool kind of place

Where the neon lies
Everything's alright
Whiskey melts a cold goodbye
The jukebox plays
And my heart don't break
Cause I believe that she'll come back in time
Where the neon lies

She won't find someone else
Cause she'll miss me way too bad
In here I convince myself
She'll want what we had
Beer after beer
I chase this whiskey down
In this buzzin' blue light atmosphere
The truth don't hang around

Where the neon lies
Everything's alright
Whiskey melts a cold goodbye
The jukebox plays
And my heart don't break
Cause I believe that she'll come back in time
Where the neon lies

The jukebox plays
And my heart don't break
Cause I believe that she'll be back in time
I start seein' things in a different light
Where the neon lies

Where the neon lies
Oh, where the neon lies
