Lyrics
Neon Tan
© 1997 Gene Castelli/John Jefferis
V1
I thought that I was doing what a man in love should do
So imagine my complete surprise when you told me we where through
You probably thought I'd fall apart, now that there's no me and you
But I've got a couple of good ideas on what I'm going do
CHORUS
I'll be working on my Neon Tan, doing those twelve ounce curls
Sitting at the bar with my feet propped up, thinking it's a perfect world
Exercising my right to forget you I've got me a fool proof plan
Sitting 'neath the glow of a Bud bar light just working on my Neon Tan
V2
There ain't no sand on the dance floor, there ain't no ocean to see
I've got me a beach front barstool, and there's a pretty girl waving at me
If I put my ear to an ashtray with a cold beer in my hand
I can almost hear old Hank singing while I'm working on my Neon Tan
BRIDGE
I don't need sun or tropical oils for the life I now enjoy
Just some beer sign lights and some girls dressed tight
And a band full of good old country boys
Working on my Neon Tan, doing them twelve ounce curls
Sitting at the bar with my feet propped up, thinking it's a perfect world
Exercising my right to forget you I've got me a fool proof plan
Sitting 'neath the glow of a Bud bar light just working on my Neon Tan
I'd like to miss you hon, but I'm having me fun, working on my Neon Tan
Got a lot of things on my "to do" list, starting with my Neon Tan
