Black Tornado
Lyrics
I've been sleeping later and later in the day Most days, I don't talk 'til maybe eight o'clock at night, it keeps me whole It keeps me hungry It keeps me way up in the mountains even when I'm on the road It keeps me coming up for air Keeps me airing out my corners, it keeps me home And every place I go is one less place I could call home And every girl I kiss, well I just cross her off my list, I don't go far I just go crazy And I buried all of my old clothes out in some field in West Des Moines And if you judge me tonight, judge me by the songs I write Not who I sleep with And if you judge me tonight, judge me by the songs I write 'Cause that's who I am to you Hey, I am a Black Tornado, black tornado Spinning around in my body sometimes Black tornado, black tornado Spinning around in my body sometimes ♪ And I could do tonight with something soft and warm and furry That ain't likely to occur in south central Missouri It's a day off, it's an off today It's a Budweiser, Budgetel, Bukowski kind of night All I got's what's on my back A guitar and a backpack but my soul is intact Yeah, all I got's what's on my back I got a Guitar in the backpack but my soul is intact And there's a black tornado, black tornado Spinning around in my body sometimes Black tornado, black tornado Spinning around in my body ♪ All I really know to do is grab the wheel and drive I look for love, some adventure And I try not to let my own breathing scare me off the road 'Cause there is a tombstone of my father, that I visit sometimes Yes there is a tombstone of my father, that I visit sometimes Yeah, I'm Black Tornado, Black tornado Spinning around in my body sometimes I got a black tornado, got a black tornado Spinning around side my body sometimes, hey That's everybody damn boring song
