Tornado Time In Texas

Lyrics

Well the sky was blacker than a funeral suit
 Hotter than a depot stove
 Hide in the cellar
 Here comes Amarillo
 Blowin' up the road
 Ya got yer hail stones big as hen eggs, boys
 Clouds as green can be
 Old Mother Nature, raisin' hell
 She parked a pickup in a tree
 Tornado time in Texas
 Take the paint right off of your barn
 Tornado time in Texas
 Blow the tattoo off of your arm
 ♪
 Now when pigs fly, no I mean, really fly
 You can bet that it's blowin' hard
 Uncle Clarence was sittin' in the outhouse
 Now he's sitting in the yard
 Granny's got the barn cat under her arm
 She's got a dish pan over her head
 Daddy's countin' kids, four, five, six
 He better bring a loaf of bread
 Tornado time in Texas
 Will take the paint right off of your barn
 Tornado time in Texas
 Blow the tattoo off your arm
 ♪
 Hidin' in the cellar with the cannin' jars
 Sounds like a train up top
 Hold your breath and peek outside
 To see what we ain't got
 Well it'll take your wheat, take your corn
 Even take your cotton balls
 Suck Red River just as dry as a bone
 And dump it on Wichita falls
 Tornado time in Texas
 Take the paint right off of your barn
 Tornado time in Texas
 Blow the tattoo off of your arm
 Blow the tattoo off of your arm
 The tattoo off of your arm
