E5                                   A5 
There's a big black clouds blowin in from the west 
          E5                                          B5 
I've been drivin' all day lord I sure could use some rest 
          E5                            A5 
There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind 
        E5                B5              E5 
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 storms movin' in 
 

A5                             E5 
Listen to the opry in a small caf? 
A5                                    E5  
When we stop to get a bite along the way 
A5                                   E5 
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine 
A5                           B5 
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 lightening is the glow from a neon sign 
                           
Chorus 
 
Repeat Verse 1 
 
Lord I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
