THUNDERSTORMS AND NEON SIGNS 
written by Wayne Hancock
  

There's some big black clouds blowing in from the west 
I've been driving all day and 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 moving around 
I've got fond memories of the way things wre back then 
The warmth of the neon when a bad storm was moving on 

We listened to the Opry in small cafes 
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've got a real nice room with a radio and TV 
This here motel living is the only life for me 
It looks like it'll be raining for quite some time 
Mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign 

We listend to the Opry in small cafes 
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 blowing in from the west 
I've been driving all day and I sure could use some rest 
There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind 
'Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
