Blown Away

1. 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 weather man 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.

[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 yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away
Blown away.

[Bridge:]
She heard those sirens screaming 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.

[Coda:]
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away.
