I was eight years old no bigger than a tumbleweed
Livin' on grannies farm outside the mesa
Was dead summer and hotter than sin

Granny had a hard life, been through a lot
Seen more  fire than rain more times than not
She lost grandpa when a cyclone took him away to heaven

Oh Texas Twister, you Texas Twister
you sure are somethin' I don't wanna see
Oh Texas Twister, Texas Twister
You scared the Shhhhhhoes off of me

Now times gone fast and I'm much older
But I still get a shiver when the wind kicks up
Takes me back to a time that I never forget 
Man I still remember Granny beatin on a pan
With an old wooden spoon
Eyes as big as Texas and getting white as the moon
Shoutin' out "everybody get yourself down to the shed"


Oh Texas Twister etc.
