Well there's some big black clouds 

that's a blowin in from the west

I've been drivin all day 

Lord, I sure could use some rest

And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind

Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

I grew up on the road from town to town 

My daddy's line of work kept us movin around

I got fond memories of the way things were back then

The warmth of a neon when a cold storm is movin in

Listen to the opry in a small cafe

When we stop to get a bite along the way

Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine

It takes me back to another time

I got a real nice room with a radio and TV

This here motel livin is the only life for me

And it looks like it'll be rainin for quite some time

Mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign

Listen to the opry in a small cafe

When we stop to get a bite along the way

Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine

It takes me back to another time



Well there's some big black clouds 

that's a blowin in from the west

I've been drivin all day 

Lord, I sure could use some rest

And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind

Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
