fadin' neon lights - korvan slate lyrics

[verse 1]
born in the dirt where the cornstalks sway
red barn leanin’ like a drunk at the end of the day
daddy’s bottle clinkin’ ‘gainst the vfw door
mama’s eyes lost in the pills on the kitchen floor
brother hit the road when the gravel turned to dust
left me with the cows and a bible full of rust
no name for this town, just a ghost in the rearview
eighth*grade dreams and a thumb hitchin’ for somethin’ new
[chorus]
oh, the big apple called with its neon glow
promised gold streets where thе wild winds blow
rich boys’ lies in their silk and their shinе
whiskey kisses and a future that’s mine
but the promises broke like a bottle on the bowery stone
now i’m dancin’ in the dark for a handful of bone
fadin’ neon lights, can’t hold back the night
from the heartland to h*ll, losin’ the fight
[verse 2]
crashed in h*ll’s kitchen with a duffel and a prayer
waitress blues in a diner, tips from a leer*filled stare
banker from the ‘burbs with his hamptons escape
producer’s coke dreams and a script full of tape
they came like the storms rollin’ over the plains
took what they wanted, left me in the rain
yachts that ain’t theirs, tattoos and tears
exotic whispers drownin’ my frontier fears
[chorus]
oh, the big apple called with its neon glow
promised gold streets where the wild winds blow
rich boys’ lies in their silk and their shine
whiskey kisses and a future that’s mine
but the promises broke like a bottle on the bowery stone
now i’m dancin’ in the dark for a handful of bone
fadin’ neon lights, can’t hold back the night
from the heartland to h*ll, losin’ the fight
[bridge]
thirty*four winters, hips screamin’ the truth
stretch marks like lightning from a forgotten youth
the young ones glide in, stealin’ the stage
manager’s eyes say i’m turnin’ the page
send bucks back home for the ward and the grave
dreams curdled sour, nothin’ left to save
dawn on the hudson, bruised purple and cold
corn whispers callin’, but the story’s been told
[outro chorus]
fadin’ neon lights… (oh, they’re fadin’ away)
can’t hold back the night… (from the heartland stray)
dancin’ in the dark… for a dollar and a dream
losin’ the fight… in this city machine
yeah, losin’ the fight…
