Dry lightn’
cracks
across the
skies
Those storm
clouds
gather in
her eyes
Daddy was
mean ole
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
Shatter
every
window till
it's all
blown away
Every brick
every board
every
slamming
door flown
away
Till there's
nothing left
standing
Nothing left
to yesterday
Every
tearsoaked
whiskey
memory
blown away
Blown away
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
Shatter
every
window till
it's all
blown away
Every brick
every board
every
slamming
door flown
away
Till there's
nothing left
standing
Nothing left
to yesterday
Every
tearsoaked
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 till
it's all
blown away
Every brick
every board
every
slamming
door flown
away
Till there's
nothing left
standing
Nothing left
to yesterday
Every
tearsoaked
whiskey
memory
blown away
Blown away
blown away
blown away
blown away
blown away
