Blown Away

Dry lightnin' 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 (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 taking shelter She called it, "Sweet revenge" Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away) Every brick, every board, every slammin' door blown away (blown away) 'Til there's nothin' left standin', nothin' left of yesterday Every tear-soaked, whiskey-memory blown away (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 (blown away) Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away) Every brick, every board, every slammin' door blown away (blown away) 'Til there's nothin' left standin', nothin' left of yesterday Every tear-soaked, whiskey-memory blown away (blown away) Blown away Blown away Blown away Blown away Blown away
