Thunderstorms and Neon Signs Songtext
von Wayne Hancock

There′s 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 rough from town to town
My daddy's line of work kept us movin' around
I got fond memories of the what 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 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
And mixed with the lightnin' a glow from a neon sign

[Interlude]

(repeat chorus)

There′s a big black cloud 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
