Blown Away
(专辑: The Covers, Vol. 3 - 2012)
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 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 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 call it taking shelter She called it sweet revenge 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 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 slamming door blown away 'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away Blown away, blown away, blown away
