From the recording IV: Finding My Way Back Home
“Who Needs The Neon?” is Ryland Fisher’s tender alternative to the honky-tonk lifestyle—a slow-burning country love song for anyone who’d trade a rowdy night out for quiet moments at home. With soft instrumentation and warm, romantic lyrics, the track paints a picture of intimacy that’s timeless. Perfect for slow dancing in the living room or sharing a moment under the stars, it’s a modern wedding-worthy ballad that reminds us sometimes the best kind of love is the kind that stays in.
Lyrics
Already got your hair done up
Wearing that dress I love
Heels to match
I should really call the cab
But girl, you got me rethinking all that
Why wait all night?
If you wanna just unwind
Ain't gotta go nowhere
I don't care
We could just stay right here
Baby, who needs neon lights
When we got ourselves a sky full of stars out in the backyard
Who wants to crowd around a bar when I got you in my arms
One look in your eyes and I'm too drunk to drive
I'm already on the high I need to be on
Who needs the neon?
You're the only buzz I want
Already way past gone
I'm reserving those lips
Got plans for those hips
Little slow dance to a Marvin Gaye mix
Ain't a soul around
Let me take your hair back down
When I kiss off that lipstick
Let's be realistic
You ain't gonna miss it
Baby, who needs neon lights
When we got ourselves a sky full of stars out in the backyard
Who wants to crowd around a bar when I got you in my arms
One look in your eyes and I'm too drunk to drive
I'm already on the high I need to be on
Who needs the neon?
Who needs the neon?
Oh, girl
Ain't no cover charge
Ain't no closing time
Last call’s our call to make
And there ain't gonna be one tonight
Baby, who needs neon lights
When we got ourselves a sky full of stars out in the backyard
Who wants to crowd around a bar when I got you in my arms
One look in your eyes and I'm too drunk to drive
I'm already on the high I need to be on
Nothing like right here, right now you turning me on
Who needs the neon?
Oh, yeah
Who needs the neon?
Oh, girl
Come here, baby
