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

Bones

Little Big Town

What goes around

Comes around

Feel it breathin' down

Heavy on you

You made that bed

You're layin' on

Deeds that you have done

Now you can't undo

You've got bones in your closet

You've got ghosts in your town

Ain't no doubt

Yeah they're gonna come out

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

You can't hide from your demons

Feel 'em all lurkin' around

You're runnin' scared

‘Cause you know they're out there

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

It's a long hard

Row to hoe

When seeds that you sow

Grow by the wicked moon

Be sure your sins

Will find you out

Your past

Will hunt you down

And return to tell on you

You've got bones in your closet

You've got ghosts in your town

Ain't no doubt

Yeah they're gonna come out

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

You can't hide from your demons

Feel 'em all lurkin' around

You're runnin' scared

‘Cause you know they're out there

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

It all stands to reason

Every dog will have his day

But your day is leavin'

Better hold on tight

It comes around

You've got bones in your closet

You've got ghosts in your town

Ain't no doubt

Yeah they're gonna come out

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

You can't hide from your demons

Feel 'em all lurkin' around

You're runnin' scared

‘Cause you know they're out there

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

They’re Waitin’

For the sun to go down

What goes around

Comes around

Feel it breathin' down

Heavy on you

Was

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

It was a moonless night

It was an empty sky

It was a bad excuse

It was the only fool in sight

It was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

It was

It was a moonless night

It was an empty sky

It was a bad excuse

I was the only fool in sight

It was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

It was

I had a wanderin’ eye

She was a better time

One twisted heart

A black cat’s walkin’ by

She was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

She was

Oh Lord

She was

She was a long way home

Walkin’ broken bones

It wasn’t wrong or right

How deep that knife could go

It was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

It was

It was a crazy thought

A man man’s walk

It was

She was a hangman’s noose

I was the fool

I was

Oh I was

Yeah baby

I was

Ooh oh

Ooh ooh ooh

Oh oh

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

***NOTE***

Do not click-on where it says to click if you think she’s hot unless you do not mind being redirected to another completely unrelated site. Sorry, this is the best video for Boondocks I could find due to the powers that be in the country music recording industry fierce determination to not let much of anything go for free. Yeah, it really irritates me.

Boondocks

Little Big Town

I feel no shame

I’m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised

In the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

And I can feel that

Muddy water runnin’ through my veins

And I can hear that

Lullaby of a midnight train

And it sings to me

And it sounds familiar

I feel no shame

I’m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised

In the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

And I can taste that

Honeysuckle and it’s still so sweet

When it grows wild

On the bands down at old camp creek

Yeah

And it calls to me like a warm wind blowin’

I feel no shame

I’m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised

In the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

It’s where I learned about livin’

It’s where I learned about love

It’s where I learned about workin’ hard

And havin’ a little was just enough

It’s where I learned about Jesus

And knowin’ where I stand

You can take it or leave it

This is me

This is who I am

Give me a tin roof

A front porch and a gravel road

And that’s home to me

It feels like home to me

I feel no shame

I’m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised

In the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

You get a line

I get a pole

We’ll go fishin’ in the crawfish hole

Five card poker on Saturday night

Church on Sunday mornin’

You get a line

You get a line

I get a pole

I get a pole

We’ll go fishin’

We’ll go fishin’ in the crawfish hole

Down in the boondocks

Five card poker on Saturday night

Church on Sunday mornin’

You get a line

You get a line

I get a pole

I get a pole

We’ll go fishin’

We’ll go fishin’ in the crawfish hole

Down in the boondocks

Five card poker on Saturday night

Say a little prayer for me

Church on Sunday mornin’

You get a line

You get a line

I get a pole

I get a pole

We’ll go fishin’

We’ll go fishin’ in the crawfish hole

Down in the boondocks

Five card poker on Saturday night

Say a little prayer for me

Church on Sunday mornin’
