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
