Twister Lyrics

Well I went down when I heard him sing
Like whiskey, it was wild and warm
The preacher preachin', the bells are ringing
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're gonna lose it in the twister

Turn tail, jump ship, hop on the train
You gotta run, boy, 'fore you're in a world of pain
I can hear it coming and we ain't even kissed
If it ain't nailed down we're 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 knew 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
We laid down when we should have turned and run
Well if it ain’t nailed down, we gonna lose it in the twister

Turn tail, jump ship, hop on the train
You gotta run, boy, 'fore you're 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

I 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 feeling on the back of your neck

Turn tail, jump ship, hop on the train
You gotta run, girl, 'fore you're in a world of pain
Can't beat the devil, so you got to resist
If it ain't nailed down, you gonna lose it
You gonna have to turn tail, jump ship, hop on the train
You better run, girl, 'fore you're in a world of pain
I've sinned, but I never thought it'd end like this
If it ain't nailed down, I'm gonna lose it in the twister
