Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
We listen to the Opry in a small cafe
When we stop to get a bite along the way
Whenever I hear them wills begin to whine
They take me back to another time
[Verse 3]
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 lightnin' is a glow from a neon sign
[Instrumental]
We listen to the Opry in a small cafe
When we stop to get a bite along the way
Whenever I fear the wills begin to whine
They take me back to another time
[Outro]
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
[Instrumental]
There's my life story there
