[Verse 1]
Swinging doors, sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey pours
There's a hole in the wall from some free-for-all
The ringing crack of that old cue ball
I've been falling in here for what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder what's going on
Beyond that blue neon

[Chorus 1]
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
I 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

[Chorus 2]
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
But it's a quarter 'til two and I don't have a clue
As to what I'll do from now 'til dawn
I wonder what's going on
Beyond that blue neon
[Outro]
Lord, what's going on
Beyond that blue neon?
