Texas Twister (copyright 2010) by Joseph Iacano & Danny Flower

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.

It came in rollin' like an old freight train
Spewing out fire, wind and rain
The wrath of God raging in the sky
I'll never forget til the day I die

Oh Texas twister....

(Man I gotta go find my shoes)
