Blown Away
Dry lightning cracks across the skiesThose storm clouds gather in her eyesHer daddy was a mean old misterMama was an angel in the groundThe weather man called for a twisterShe prayed blow it down
There’s not enough rain in OklahomaTo wash the sins out of that houseThere’s not enough wind in OklahomaTo rip the nails out of the past
[Chorus:]Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away,Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away'til there’s nothing left standing,Nothing left of yesterdayEvery tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,Blown away
She heard those sirens screaming outHer daddy laid there passed out on the couchShe locked herself in the cellarListened to the screaming of the windSome people called it taking shelterShe called it sweet revenge
[Chorus:]Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away,Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away'til there’s nothing left standing,Nothing left of yesterdayEvery tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,Blown away
There’s not enough rain in OklahomaTo wash the sins out of that houseThere’s not enough wind in OklahomaTo rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away (blown away)Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)'til there’s nothing left standing,Nothing left of yesterday (blown away)Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away
