(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson)

Swingin' doors, sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey poors
There's a hole in the wall from some free for all
The ringin' crack of that ol' cue ball
I been fallin' in here for what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder whats goin' on beyond that blue neon.

I hear tell there's people out there
Who don't know what losin' you means
They don't have a heart that just falls apart
At the mention of your name
I've heard they pretend the world didn't end
Right when I knew you were gone
I guess life still goes on beyond that blue neon.

I hear tell there's people out there
Who don't know what losing you means
They don't have a heart that just falls apart
At the mention of your name
Well it's a quarter 'til two and I don't have a clue
As to what I'll do from now 'til dawn
I'll wonder what's goin' on beyond that blue neon.

Lord, what's goin' on beyond that blue neon...
