I've been drivin' all day
That's a blowin' in from the west
I grew up on the road from town to town
The warmth of a neon when a cold storm is movin' in
When we stop to get a bite along the way
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
'Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
I've been drivin' all day
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
Lord, I sure could use some rest
Listen to the opry in a small cafe
It takes me back to another time
When we stop to get a bite along the way
And it looks like it'll be rainin' for quite some time
I got fond memories of the way things were back then
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
Mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign
Lord, I sure could use some rest
It takes me back to another time
Well, there's some big black clouds
This here motel livin' is the only life for me
My daddy's line of work kept us movin' around
Listen to the opry in a small cafe
I got a real nice room with a radio and TV
'Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
