Twister

well it all went down when I heard him sing

like whiskey it was wild and warm

heard the preacher preach and the bells all ring

and then the rumble of a gathering storm

and when he took my hand the wind blew strong

I said put that down and back away slow

I’ve had about enough out of you now mister

well I can’t help you if you don’t know

but if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

turn tail jump ship hop on a train

you better run boy ‘fore you in a world of pain

now I can hear it comin and we ain’t even kissed

if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

well I’m not sure he heard a word I said

or really if I said it at all

cause the next I know I was in his bed

with a window and a clock on the wall

and the clock stopped tickin and the sky went black

I said good goddamn, now what have we done?

we tried to beat the devil but we couldn’t resist her

we lay down when we shoulda turned and run

now if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

turn tail jump ship hop on a train

you better run boy ‘fore you in a world of pain

can’t beat the devil so you got to resist

if it ain’t nailed down we gonna lose it in the twister

had a home, now I got a hole in the ground

had a man, now I got a man about town

so take it from the lady in the rubble and wreck

when you feel that feelin on the back of your neck

just turn tail jump ship hop on a train

you better run girl ‘fore you in a world of pain

I have sinned but I never thought it’d end like this

if it ain’t nailed down I’m gonna lose it in the twister
