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
