Tornado Time in Texas

Well the sky was blacker than a funeral suit

Hotter than a depot stove

Hide in the cellar

Here comes amarillo

Blowin down the road

Ya got yer hail stones big as hen eggs boy

Yer clouds as green can be

Old mother natures raisin hell

She parked a pickup in a tree

Take the paint right off of your barn

Tornado time in texas

Blow the tattoo off your arm

Well 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

Better bring a loaf of bread

Tornado time in texas

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

It'll take your wheat, it'll take your corn

Even take your cotton balls

Suck red river just as dry as a bone

Dump it on wichitaw falls

Tornado time in texas

Take the paint right off of your barn
