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
