Alan Jackson - Chasin' That Neon Rainbow Lyrics






Daddy won a radio
He tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
She taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries cause she never thought
I'd really ever take it this far
Singin' in the bars

[CHORUS:]
And chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
Cause all I've ever wanted
Is to pick this guitar and sing
It's time to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

An atlas and a coffee cup
Five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston for a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killing me
Half the time I sing for free
When the crowd's into it, lord,
It makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standing in the spotlight

[CHORUS]

Now daddy's got a radio
He won it thirty years ago
He said; son I just know
We're gonna hear you singin' on it some day
I made it up to music row
Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute
I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage

[CHORUS]

  47. J.... R....

    I like how they’re playing one of his other songs at the beginning of the video.

    J.... R....

    low key

  48. L.... D....

    90's and 80's country...it will never die. all the people that think that modern country is real country, it isn't and don't forget that.

  49. S.... K....

    Who's singin' along with him?😂

  50. F.... K....

    chasing that Neon rainbow livin that honktonky dream in my motherland, Kenya...

  51. K.... ....

    Even though I'm 34 years old, grew up in a family where they all loved the 90's music including myself and being taken to country concerts as a kid seeing the legends like Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Laurie Morgan, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw just to name a few. You know, the good ole days when a concert ticket only cost 20 bucks! No wonder I only see like 2 or 3 live concerts a year these days.


    But in all honesty, in my opinion the best country years in history are the 60's thru the 80's, sorry people. 90's is a very close second, for two reasons only. 1 the music, the singers and groups were great. 2 that was the decade country music became nationally and socially accepted as a legit music form! But the latter was a double edged sword, that's why most of today's country music of this decade is horrible! The 50's was a really good decade too. On one hand it had that old ancient sounding stuff from prior decades in which some of it is kinda cringe worthy like today's country. But on the other hand lots of good songs from one hit wonders came out of the 50's. But the greatest contribution was the artists who got their start in the 50's who later became legends in the 60's, 70's, and even the 80's!


    The 00's were okay. I continued to listen to the old standard bearers from the 90' and 80's who were still putting out music but I liked some of the new. Like Blake Shelton, Billy Currington, Darius Rucker, Sara Evans, Josh Turner, Gretchen Wilson, early Zac Brown Band just to name some. To each their own on this topic! Nobody is wrong when it comes to music preference and taste. Its like choosing between Chicken Noodle soup or Tomato soup when you have the Flu or a Cold, nobody's wrong its all about what you like and what makes you feel better.

    So glad I got to see him live...

  72. M.... W....

    In the movie Breakdown, there's this one villain named Earl  with a mustache and a cowboy hat who reminds me of Alan Jackson.  Only I'm sure the real-life Alan is a much nicer fellow.

  73. S.... M....

    ALAN. JACKSON. THE. KING. OF. COUNTRY. MÛSIC

  77. T.... E....

    One of the few country artists that I can listen to

  78. L.... A....

    here is a wonderful voice and a sweet smile of an angel, what a nice pretty face, Alan Jackson that man has it all, even with the years go by, he's still very good looking and kept his good voice. The mother nature sure spoil him

  79. T.... ....

    Alan is one of the best most traditional country artists, right up there with George Strait!

  80. R.... R....

    the color red?

  81. J.... S....

    Nice one

  82. D.... M....

    The first time I heard this song I was just😂15 years old and drinking like a fish.

  83. J.... M....

    My favorite Country Singer is Alan Jackson Miss Ya Alsn Jackie McAdams

    J.... M....

    He.s awesome

  84. M.... M....

    Did anyone else catch the paradox in this portrayal of Neon Rainbow? The theme is that he's playing in bars to get his start; however, playing in the background is Alan Jackson singing one of his songs after he made it: "I'd love you all over again." Gives me a smile every time I hear this official music video of his.

  85. J.... W....

    Isn't it great, seeing those photos of Alan when he was a little kid? What a cutie! And what a talented man--always has been.😄💒

  86. J.... P....

    👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👏👏👏👏👏

  87. T.... B....

    Now _this_ is country! 😄

    Sorry, I’m not into the new stuff.

  88. N.... V....

    I'm listening to this right now in 2019 who's with me

  89. C.... H....

    We need another Alan Jackson to right the ship. I can't imagine a better introduction to a new artist than this video. They show pictures of his family and him growing up, he says his own name in video and has charm for miles. Would this even get on country radio now? I doubt it, it's too true, it's too real and it's too damn good.

  90. D.... J....

    This is my dad's favorite Alan Jackson song. Mine is Living On Love.

  91. G.... S....

    What's the song that plays in the background at the beginning of the video?

    G.... S....

    I’d love you all over again I think

    G.... S....

    @Sillyfoal862885 Thanks, I think that's it

  92. M.... J....

    Why in the living hell do “artist” not sing this style anymore in country? Man if this don’t make you want to drop the tailgate down on your truck and have a beer with a smile then I don’t know what kind of life you live. You damn sure ain’t chasing no Neon Rainbow!

  93. L.... O....

    Love Alan Jackson love his music and love his music and I wanna meet Alan Jackson😙😙😙😙😙😙

  94. P.... M....

    Esta cancion en la madrugada en un kenworth tomando un cafe!!!

  95. S.... D....

    Country music like this is why I play guitar.

  96. R.... M....

    I’ll be honest.. I absolutely dislike country.. sorry just not my thing.. except Alan.. I love his music!

  97. J.... R....

    Today’s country music sucks. It’s full of illuminati symbolism and it has completely rejected its roots. It used to be about God, family, hard times and becoming stronger because of them. Now it’s about pretty girls and pick up trucks. Thankfully we still have people like Alan Jackson and George strait.
