Blown Away lyrics

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

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

[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

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 (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
