[Verse 1]
                   E
Well, there's some big black clouds
                             A
That's a blowin' in from the west
           E
I've been drivin' all day
                            B7
Lord, I sure could use some rest
              E                            Am
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
         E                A          B7    E
'Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs


[Verse 2]
  E                                 A
I grew up on the road from town to town
   E                                   B7
My daddy's line of work kept us movin' around
      E                                         Am
I got fond memories of the way things were back then
    E                A            B7             E
The warmth of a neon when a cold storm is movin' in


[Chorus]
Am                            E
Listen to the opry in a small cafe
         Am                          E
When we stop to get a bite along the way
Am                                  E
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
   Am                       B7
It takes me back to another time


[Verse 3]
        E                               A
I got a real nice room with a radio and TV
          E                                 B7
This here motel livin' is the only life for me
       E                                          Am
And it looks like it'll be rainin' for quite some time
E                               A           B7   E
Mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign

[Chorus]
Am                            E
Listen to the opry in a small cafe
         Am                          E
When we stop to get a bite along the way
Am                                  E
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
   Am                       B7
It takes me back to another time


[Verse 4]
                   E
Well, there's some big black clouds
                             A
That's a blowin' in from the west

And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
         E                A          B7    E
