From the recording Drifter
Lyrics
### Intro
(Heavy, distorted power chords with driving drums)
### Verse 1
Wind came howling down the county line
Tore up everything, every single sign
Village crumbling like paper in the rain
Mother Nature showing no restraint
### Verse 2
Roofs are flying, trees are bending low
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Sky turned green then black as coal
That twister came and took its toll
### Chorus
Tornado blues, spinning round and round
Tearing up this one-horse town
But we ain't breaking, we ain't through
We got those mean tornado blues
### Verse 3
Houses scattered across the field
Everything we built, refused to yield
But standing in the aftermath today
We'll build it back in our own way
### Chorus
Tornado blues, spinning round and round
Tearing up this one-horse town
But we ain't breaking, we ain't through
We got those mean tornado blues
### Solo
(Aggressive electric guitar solo with fast pentatonic runs, mimicking the chaos of the storm)
### Bridge
You can shake us, you can break us down
Scatter everything across the ground
But we're survivors, born and bred
Rising up from what you left for dead
### Verse 4
Morning came with a different view
Everything we knew was torn in two
But there's a fire burning in our eyes
This village will again arise
### Chorus
Tornado blues, spinning round and round
Tearing up this one-horse town
But we ain't breaking, we ain't through
We got those mean tornado blues
### Outro
(Powerful guitar riff repeating, gradually building intensity before a final crashing chord)
