[Verse 1] Neon gold in the window glow Midnight hum on a dusty road He rolls in low with a crooked grin Like he’s been gone longer than he’s been in Says he’s got more than he lets on Says the night’s where he comes from But nobody knows where he stands Nobody loves the mystery man [Chorus] Neon gold, he’s a mystery man Yeah, neon gold, he’s a mystery man Says he’s got so much to offer But nobody loves the mystery man Neon gold Neon gold Neon gold He’s a mystery man [Verse 2] He comes in, he sits right down Talks a while, buys a round Laughs like nothing’s ever wrong Like he ain’t been lost that long And you love him again somehow Like you always do, like right now But you stare at that neon sign Wonder where he’s been this time [Chorus] Neon gold, he’s a mystery man Yeah, neon gold, he’s a mystery man Says he’s got so much to offer But nobody loves the mystery man Neon gold Neon gold Neon gold He’s a mystery man [Jam / Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] He talks in riddles, half-truth lies Fire in his words, smoke in his eyes Every promise burns so bright Then fades with the morning light He don’t stay, he don’t explain Leaves behind a little rain Every town knows who he is But nobody knows where he lives [Bridge] Neon gold on a lonely night Buzzing like a bad idea You swear this time he’ll get it right But he’s already disappearing He mystifies Yeah, he mystifies Neon gold… oh neon gold… Mystery man… Neon gold… oh neon gold… Ole mystery man… [Final Chorus] Neon gold, he’s a mystery man Yeah, neon gold, he’s a mystery man Says he’s got so much to offer But nobody loves the mystery man Neon gold Neon gold Neon gold He’s a mystery man [Outro (Chanted / Jam Fade)] Neon gold… Mystery man… Neon gold… Ole mystery man…
