Lyrics
[Verse]
Well, I was sittin' on the porch, just watchin' the sky
Cruisin' through my small town, feelin' so alive
But out of nowhere came a twister, like a bat outta hell
Took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety as well
[Verse 2]
She spun 'round like a whirlwind, leavin' in her trail
The broken pieces of my heart, scattered and pale
My shotgun flew right into the eye of the storm
And my loyal old hound, he got swept away, mournin' his lost home
[Chorus]
Oh, that tornado took it all, left me standin' here alone
In a pile of dust and debris and a heart turned to stone
I'm searchin' for the pieces of my life scattered in the wind
But that twister took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety, my friend
[Verse 3]
That twister took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety
It took my grill, my shoes, my heart, my bear, and my beer
It took my soul, my jeans, my cousin, my lover, and my whiskey
It took it all (took it all)
[Verse 4]
And that ol’ dog grabbed that gun and shot the sky
The whiskey ran, my soul tore, and my truck drove
That twister came and ran us dry
(dry)
[Chorus]
Oh, that tornado took it all, left me standin' here alone
In a pile of dust and debris and a heart turned to stone
I'm searchin' for the pieces of my life scattered in the wind
But that twister took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety, my friend
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 6]
One day I'll take it all back (take it back)
I'll show that ol' twister what I got in my sack.
I'll take its girl, its gun, its dog, its truck, and its sobriety.
I'll take its ol' twister heart and make it mine.
[Chorus]
Oh, that tornado took it all, left me standin' here alone
In a pile of dust and debris and a heart turned to stone
I'm searchin' for the pieces of my life scattered in the wind
But that twister took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety, my friend
[Fade out]
[No Music]
[Chorus]
Oh, that tornado took it all, left me standin' here alone
In a pile of dust and debris and a heart turned to stone
I'm searchin' for the pieces of my life scattered in the wind
But that twister took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety
[Outro]
Oh, that tornado took it all, left me standin' here alone
In a pile of dust and debris and a heart turned to stone
I'm searchin' for the pieces of my life scattered in the wind
But that twister took my girl, my gun, my dog, my truck, and my sobriety
[Fade]
