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
