ATF: Seriously Twisted

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Blown Away

Carrie Underwood

“What, that history?  I was always good at history.  I could help you.”

“I’m fine, thank you.”

“Really, I am.  What’s the subject?  Hey, hey.  Hey!  I am your father, young lady!”

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 slammin’ door

Blown away

‘Til there’s nothing left standin’

Nothing left to 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 called it takin’ 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 nothing left standin’

Nothing left to 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

Shatter every window

‘Til it's all blown away

Blown away

Blown away

Every brick

Every board

Every slammin’ door

Blown away

Blown away

Blown away

‘Til there’s nothing left standin’

Nothing left to yesterday

Blown away

Every tear-soaked whiskey memory

Blown away

Blown away

Blown away

Blown away

Blown away

Blown away

Blown away

Tornado

Little Big Town

Thought you'd change the weather

Start a little storm

Make a little rain

But I'm gonna do one better

Hide the sun until you pray

I'm a tornado

Lookin’ for a soul to take

You're gonna see me comin’

By the selfish things that you did

I'm gonna leave you guessin'

How this funnel is gonna hit

I'm a tornado

Lookin’ for a man to break

Yeah

I'm gonna lift this house

Spin it all around

Toss it in the air

And put it in the ground

Make sure you're never found

Thought you'd take a swing

Try another girl

Try another night

But it's the pain that brings

My force of nature back to life

I'm a tornado

More disturbed than an F5

Hey

I'm gonna lift this house

Spin it all around

Toss it in the air

And put it in the ground

I'm gonna lift this house

Spin it all around

Toss it in the air

And put it in the ground

Make sure you're never found

Oh yeah

I'm gonna lift this house

Spin it all around

Toss it in the air

And put it in the ground

Yeah

I'm gonna lift this house

Spin it all around

Toss it in the air

And put it in the ground

Make sure you're never found

The winds are gettin’ stronger

And the sky is fallin’ through

And you ain't got much longer

‘Til the rage rips off the roof

I'm a tornado

And I'm comin’ after you
