Words and music by bob seger
There's the neon sky that i know so well
There's the smoky room where i chose to dwell
Though i hear your heart many miles away
The neon sky tells me i must stay
Through the windy field of another land
I have seen your face, girl, i have held your hand
Though i should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that i must stay
Cause the devil's red, but his money's green
That's where i'm from, oh, that's where i've been
On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still i hope you know
That there'll come a day with the neon sky
When we'll walk into the sun, you and i
Yes so he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so i must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away
Yes, the devil's red, but his money's green
That's where i'm from, oh, that's where i've been
