A Tornado Warning

We were sitting on the front porch
with the weather rolling in
laughing louder than the big south wind
You ran out to roll you windows up
light rain falling in your hair
Your tan legs checkered from a folding chair
Now there's country music in the kitchen
I hear it singing through the screen
Weather warnings in between
Glad you got out of the city
There's no telling what's in store
along the 35 corridor
Kerosene to feed the flame
Your effect is quite the same
Shadows dancing on the wall
waiting for the sky to fall
Couldn't ask for better weather
you were saying with a grin
to the sound of hail stones hitting tin
It's loud enough you gotta yell now
the whole thing hits me like a song
a pretty one that won't last long
Kerosene to feed the flame
Your effect is quite the same
Shadows dancing on the wall
waiting for the sky to fall
waiting for the sky to fall
In the broken morning light
that simple shade of blue
the kind that always follows you
Kerosene to feed the flame
Your effect is quite the same
Shadows dancing on the wall
waiting for the sky to fall
waiting for the sky to fall
