Cowtown Twister

Driving out from Big D to Cowtown My little buddy Butch and I Looked up to see the witch of springtime Brewing dark trouble in the sky Big ol' Fort Worth Tornado Dancing demon of the wind Dark black Cowtown twister Sure hope my life it doesn't end Had a show to do at Billy Bob's That wet stormy Texas tuesday night The rain was coming down in spirals I knew then things weren't at all right The warning sirens shreiked as a wall cloud Dropped from the blackened sky straight ahead I pointed and said, "It's my first twister!" Butch's face was twisted with ghostly dread Big ol' Fort Worth Tornado Slinking snakelike through the air Black scary Cowtown Twister Will the city still exist when we get there? Butch tuned to the Wolf and the DJ said "Tornado warning for Tarrant county now! It's on the ground near 35 and 30" I said, "we should be seeing it by now The sky was as green as money The clouds as black as good old Texas tea I said, "boy howdy, this is the big one!" I looked to the right and what did I see? That big ol Fort Worth Tornado Spinning just a thousand feet away That snake-like Cowtown Twister On the ground and heading straight our way "What do we do?" said Butch in a panic "Stop under the bridge and hang on for the ride!" Front to back then back to front the rain blew That Rodeo was rocking side to side Like a roller coaster ride without the puking I'll never forget the thrill I got that day Watching that black spinning funnel On the ground and heading straight our way Dark spinning Fort Worth tornado Wizard of Oz has nothing on you That's the story of the Cowtown Twister When it was over all I could say was "Whew! Hot Damn! What a rush!"
