Drive-By Truckers - Tornadoes lyrics

The clouds started forming at five o'clock pm The funnel clouds touched down Five miles north of Russellville Sirens were blowing, clouds spat rain And as the things came threw, it sounded like a train "It came without no warning" said Bobbi Jo McLean She and husband Nolen always loved to watch the rain It s**ed him out the window, he ain't come home again All she can remember is "It sounded like a train" Pieces of that truck stop, litter up the highway, I been told And I hear that missing trucker ended up in Kansas (or maybe it was Oz). The Nightmare Tour ended for my band and me The night all the sh** went down A homecoming concert, the night the tornadoes hit my hometown. The few who braved the weather were s**ed out of the auditorium I can still remember the sound of their applause in the rain As it echoed through them storm clouds, I swear, It sounded like a train.
