Yeah we’re just gonna
Pull up a stool, act like a fool
Nothing to do till Monday
We’ll put a quarter in the box
We’re off the clock
Yeah man we got it made
Yeah I think we got a good thing going here
So turn up a song
Let it get you good and gone
And watch it all disappear
Yeah we’re living on neon time
Smoking up the room and clearing our minds
Little lean back and kick it
Little cold beer with it
Let it hit ya just right, yeah
Something ’bout the way the neon shines
It goes perfect with a Friday night
You ain’t thinking ’bout 9 to 5
When you’re living on neon time
I think we’re gonna
Throw a couple back, fill up a tab
Talk about those good, good times
Everybody knows there ain’t no lows
When you’re raising ’em up high
Yeah we’re living on neon time
Smoking up the room and clearing our minds
Little lean back and kick it
Little cold beer with it
Let it hit ya just right, yeah
Something ’bout the way the neon shines
It goes perfect with a Friday night
You ain’t thinking ’bout 9 to 5
When you’re living on neon time
Yeah we’re living on neon time
Smoking up the room and clearing our minds
Little lean back and kick it
Little cold beer with it
Let it hit ya just right, so right
Something ’bout the way the neon shines
It goes perfect with a Friday night
You ain’t thinking ’bout 9 to 5
When you’re living on neon time
No you ain’t thinking ’bout no 9 to 5
When you’re living on neon time
Finding Freedom in the Glow: Interpreting “Neon Time”
In “Neon Time,” Blake Shelton captures the essence of unwinding after a long week and embracing the carefree spirit that comes with Friday nights. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of camaraderie, relaxation, and escapism, where friends gather in the soft glow of neon lights, leaving behind the worries of the daily grind. The repeated imagery of neon, cold beers, and laughter creates an inviting scene, inviting listeners to let go of their routines and savor the moment. Shelton’s warm delivery amplifies the song’s message: that sometimes, the best memories are made when you stop watching the clock and start living in the present.
