Patience has paid off in a big way for Tim McGraw. The 51-year-old’s brand new track, “Neon Church,” dropped in early October and now has a music video to go along with it! The track served as his first new song in over two years. However, “Neon Church” was not McGraw’s only release last month. The Louisiana native also dropped a second country tune, “Thought About You.” More on that additional song here.
“Shane C. Drake [music video director] and I talked a lot about the depth and meaning of ‘Neon Church.’ The song has a lot of grit, and there’s a darkness to it. So we wanted the video to carry some of that darkness and moodiness, but you also have the neon… the light. We’re all a little broken, but that doesn’t mean we don’t each carry some light,” McGraw shared via Facebook.

“Neon Church” Lyrics
I need Jesus or I need whiskey
Whatever works best to get me through
Gettin’ over you
A little Friday night Hallelujah
A congregation of backsliders just like me
Yeah, what I need
Is a neon church with a jukebox choir
Full of honky tonk angels with their wings on fire
Straight pourin’ out that Johnnie Walker healin’
I got a feelin’
I need a neon church
Baptize me in that barroom smoke
Bartender, preach to me ’til my heart ain’t broke no more
Ain’t that what this place is for?
I tried bended knee, hands-up prayin’
But damn did that hurt, don’t just keep hangin’ around
What I need right now
Is a neon church with a jukebox choir
Full of honky tonk angels with their wings on fire
Straight pourin’ out that Johnnie Walker healin’
I got a feelin’
I need a neon church
Get to sippin’ that unholy water
Save that hurt-like-hell for tomorrow
I’ll stay here all night
In an neon church with the party crowd
Where the good times roll and the music’s loud
Instead of home starin’ holes in the ceiling
I got a feeling
Is a neon church with a jukebox choir
Full of honky tonk angels with their wings on fire
Straight pourin’ out that Johnnie Walker healin’
I got a feelin’
I need a neon church
