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
