(I Sure Hope The) Tornado (Don't Come)

Snaky clouds are boiling in the rambling west Fist beats thru my ribcage Gonna tear apart my chest I sure hope the tornado don't come Shadows leap, can't get away From the moving beast If I had me a fast car I would Gun it for the east I sure hope the tornado don't come I'd love to (love to) run out free Into the raging storm I'd love to love some women Who wave those can-ya-take-it arms I sure hope the tornado don't come They say it takes you in a whirl And you don't choose where to land Creatures of the dreams you bury Grab you by the hand Oh tornado I ain't ready to face 14 directions Oh tornado No! But the trees begin to tremble The grass begins to sing The radio fella's yelling He's not selling anything I sure hope that tornado don't come The mothers grab their children The dogs all turn around The ocean is in the sky Some fool has turned it unside down. I sure hope that tornado don't come
