Lyrics
Description
(Tempo: slow 12/8 shuffle ~76 BPM • Key suggestion: E • Arrangement notes: leave space for a 12-bar guitar solo after Chorus 2; call-and-response with sax/guitar on marked lines)
[Verse 1]
Under the red neon at 3rd and Pine,
A cracked jukebox coughs our heartbeat time.
I sip cheap rye, it tastes like yesterday,
Bar stool creaks and the band begins to sway.
(Short sax answer)
[Chorus]
Neon keeps my heart awake — that’s the hook I feel, (call: sax/Gtr)
These blues cut deep, like a coin stuck in a wheel.
You hum our song and the smoke writes your name, (guitar lick answers)
Hold me close, don’t let this night go lame.
[Verse 2]
Red sign spells OPEN; the rain paints the street,
Your laugh rings out where the alleys meet.
You put a dollar in the jukebox, then you swore,
The needle skipped — and I needed that song more.
(Brief guitar stab answers)
[Chorus]
Neon keeps my heart awake — that neon never sleeps, (call: sax/Gtr)
Those midnight miles are mine to keep.
Your hand on my sleeve, like a promise made, (guitar lick answers)
I’m tied to this room where the light won't fade.
[Instrumental Break]
12-bar guitar solo (let it breathe, let the sax answer on bars 5–6)
(Leave 16 counts for solo, then return with a quiet vocal line)
[Bridge]
I should have known better than the corner’s charm,
But you shelled out your laugh and disarmed my harm.
You said, "Boy, take the keys, don’t throw them away," —
And I stayed 'cause you lit the nights I couldn’t pay.
(Answer: soft sax line echoes last two phrases)
[Chorus — Variation]
Neon keeps my heart awake — now the hook has changed, (call: sax/Gtr)
These blues still cut, but they don’t feel estranged.
You hum our song and the smoke still frames your name, (guitar lick answers)
But this time I stand — I’m not the same.
[Outro]
Neon keeps my heart awake — a promise, not a chain, (final sax swell)
Play that last chord till the rain calls my name.
In this cracked-light love the truth accrues,
Neon kept my heart awake — and gave me the blues.
(Performance note: allow for a soft vocal ad-lib on the last line; end on a sustained E7 with a gentle sax fade-out.)
