Storm Warning

NIGHT’S SO STILL AS DARKENING SKIES
SHOW THUNDER STORMS ARE COMING
RACING CLOUDS AND RAGING WINDS
BRING A WARNING OF HAIL STONES DRUMMING
COMING DOWN WITH A VENGEANCE
REVENGE IS RISING UPON THIS ONE HORSE TOWN
LIGHTNING STRIKES ACROSS THE SKY
AND LIGHTS THE NIGHT AS THE NIGHTMARE SOUNDS

THERE’S A STORM WARNING ON MY RADIO
STORM WARNING LORD THIS TIME SHE’S GONNA BLOW
HEAR THAT STORM WARNING ON MY RADIO
STORM WARNING GONNA PACK MY THINGS AND GO…

IT’S JUST A COUPLE OF ACRES OF DESERT SCRUB
WE’VE BEEN SCRATCHING THE SOIL
SINCE BEFORE THE WAR
ME AND MY BABY NEVER THOUGHT TO TURN IT IN
BUT IF THIS TWISTER TAKES ITS TOIL
WE WON’T BE FARMING HERE NO MORE
I HAD IT ON THE MARKET SINCE LORD KNOWS WHEN
BUT NO-ONE’S GONNA BUY IN TORNADO LAND
NO SUBSIDIES FOR DAMAGE
NO INSURANCE FOR LOSS
TOO PROUD, TOO DUMB TO WEIGH UP THE COST

THERE’S A STORM WARNING ON MY RADIO
STORM WARNING LORD THIS TIME SHE’S GONNA BLOW
HEAR THAT STORM WARNING ON MY RADIO
STORM WARNING GONNA PACK MY THINGS AND GO…

SILENCE HANGS IN TORNADO LAND
I GOT A TROUBLING MIND
DEBRIS LYING ACROSS THE GROUND
SOME THINGS YOU GOTTA KEEP
WELL SOME YOU LEAVE THEM BEHIND
SHE STANDS ON THE PORCH
CRYING TEARS IN THE RAIN
AND ALL HER PRETTY DREAMS ARE TORN
I WONDER WHAT CAN SURVIVE
WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE
IS SHOT TO PIECES IN THE HEAT OF THE STORM

THERE’S A STORM WARNING ON MY RADIO
STORM WARNING LORD THIS TIME SHE’S GONNA BLOW
HEAR THAT STORM WARNING ON MY RADIO
STORM WARNING GONNA PACK MY THINGS AND GO…
