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

ATF: God's Country

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite 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 that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



God’s Will
Martina McBride
I met God’s Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first
His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway
It almost made me hurt
Will don’t walk too good
Will don’t talk too good
He won’t do the things that the other kids do
In our neighborhood

I’ve been
Searchin’
Wonderin’
Thinkin’
Lost
And lookin’
All my life
I’ve been
Wounded
Jaded
Loved
And hated
I’ve wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother’s miracle
I’ve been
Readin’
Writin’
Prayin’
Fightin’
I guess I would be still
Yeah
That was until
I knew God’s Will

Will’s mom had to work two jobs
We’d watch him when she had to work late
And we’d all laugh like I hadn’t laughed
Since I don’t know when
Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he’d ask to pray
And then he’d pray for everybody in the world
But him

I’ve been
Searchin’
Wonderin’
Thinkin’
Lost
And lookin’
All my life
I’ve been
Wounded
Jaded
Loved
And hated
I’ve wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother’s miracle
I’ve been
Readin’
Writin’
Prayin’
Fightin’
I guess I would be still
Yeah
That was until
I knew God’s Will

Before they moved to California
His mother said they didn’t think he’d live
And she said each day that I have him
Well
It’s just another gift
And I never got to tell her
That the boy showed me the truth
In crayon red
On notebook paper
He written me and God
Love you

I’ve been
Searchin’
Prayin’
Wounded
Jaded
I guess I would be still
Yeah
That was until

I met God’s Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves



Jesus, Take The Wheel
Carrie Underwood
She was drivin’ last Friday
On her way to Cincinnati
 On a snow white Christmas Eve
 Goin’ home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat
 Fifty miles to go
And she was runnin’ low
On faith and gasoline
 It'd been a long hard year
 She had a lot on her mind
And she didn't pay attention
 She was goin’ way too fast
 Before she knew it she was spinning on
A thin black sheet of glass
 She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
 She didn't even have time to cry
 She was so scared
 She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus
Take the wheel
 Take it from my hands
 ‘Cause I can't do this
On my own
 I'm a-letting go
 So give me one more chance
 To save me from this
Road I'm on
 Jesus
Take the wheel

It was still gettin’ colder
When she made it to the shoulder
 And the car came to a stop
 She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleepin’ like a rock
 And for the first time in a long time
 She bowed her head to pray
 She said I'm sorry for the way
 I've been livin’ my life
 I know I've got to change
 So from now on tonight

Jesus
Take the wheel
 Take it from my hands
 ‘Cause I can't do this
On my own
 I'm letting go
 So give me one more chance
 To save me from this
Road I'm on
 Oh
Jesus
Take the wheel

Oh I'm letting go
 So give me one more chance
 Save me from this
Road I'm on
 From this road I'm on
 Jesus
Take the wheel
 Oh
Take it
Take it from me
 Oh
Now
Ooooooh
Ooooh

The Pretenders vs. Carrie Underwood



I’ll Stand By You
The Pretenders
Oh
Why you look so sad
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't
Be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothin' you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So
If you're mad
Get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey
What you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in
Into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when
When the night falls on you baby
You're feelin' all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in
Into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Yeah

Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
No no no no no
Take me in
Into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
