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
There's not enough rain
in Oklahoma
To wash the sins
out of that house
There's not enough wind
in Oklahoma
To rip the nails
out of the past
Shatter every window
'til it's all blown away
Every brick
Every board
Every slammin' door
blown away
'Til there's nothin'
left standin'
Nothin' left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked
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
screamin' of the wind
Some people call it
takin' shelter
She called it sweet revenge
Shatter every window
'til it's all blown away
Every brick
Every board
Every slammin' door
blown away
'Til there's nothin'
left standin'
Nothin' left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked
whiskey memory blown away
Blown away
There's not enough rain
in Oklahoma
To wash the sins
out of that house
There's not enough wind
in Oklahoma
To rip the nails
out of the past
Shatter every window
'til it's all blown away
Every brick
Every board
Every slammin' door
blown away
'Til there's nothin'
left standin'
Nothin' left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked
whiskey memory blown away
Blown away
Blown away
A yay a yay ay ay ay ay ay ay
Blown away
Ay yay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
Blown away
Ay ay aay aay
Blown away
