dry lightning cracks across the skies
those storm clouds gather in her eyes
her daddy was a mean old mister
mama was an angel in the ground
the weatherman called for a twister
she prayed blow it down
pre
theres not enough rain in oklahoma
to wash the sins out of that house
theres not enough wind in oklahoma
to rip the nails out of the past
shatter every window ’til its all blown away
every brick every board every slamming door blown away
’til theres nothing left standing nothing left of yesterday
every tearsoaked whiskey memory blown away
blown away
she heard those sirens screamin’ out
her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
she locked herself in the cellar
listened to the screaming of the wind
some people called it taking shelter
she called it sweet revenge
shatter every window ’til its all blown away
every brick every board every slamming door blown away
’til theres nothing left standing nothing left of yesterday
every tearsoaked whiskey memory blown away
blown away
pre
theres not enough rain in oklahoma
to wash the sins out of that house
theres not enough wind in oklahoma
to rip the nails out of the past
shatter every window ’til its all blown away
every brick every board every slamming door blown away
’til theres nothing left standing nothing left of yesterday
every tearsoaked whiskey memory blown away
blown away
blown away
blown away
blown away
blown away
