Thunderstorms and Neon Signs

There's some big black clouds blowin' in from the west

I've been drivin' all day, Lord, I sure could use some rest

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 the neon when a bad storm was movin' in

We listen to the Opry in small cafés

When we stopped 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 living is the only life for me

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

And mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign

We'd listen to the Opry in small cafés

When we stopped to get a bite along the way

Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine

It takes me back to another time

There's some big black clouds blowin' in from the west

I've been drivin' all day, Lord, I sure could use some rest

There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind

'Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

Lord, I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
