Tornado Alley - Carrie Newcomer

Tornado Alley - Carrie Newcomer
You and I are two of a kind
Two restless spirits of the same mind
We know the risks and yet we stay
We're brave or crazy or stubborn that way
You live your life
In the shadow of a whirlwind
It might just come back again
I'll hold on to you
You hold on to me
And we'll stand right here
On Tornado Alley
The old ones talk about the one in '43
It blew through town unexpectedly
A little girl was found cryin'
Down by the mill run
And to this day nobody knows
Where she came from
You live your life
In the shadow of a whirlwind
It might just come back again
I'll hold on to you
You hold on to me
And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley
Now everyone's got some story
Of narrow escape
Won by luck fate or grace
You can run for cover
But you cannot hide
The only safe place is the one
That you hold inside
It's a misfit a wild card
It's living in your backyard
It hears no voice but it's own
You do something
You just can't take
So mistood rise you never come back
Leave you live your life
In the shadow of a whirlwind
It might just come back again
I'll hold on to you
You hold on to me
And we'll stand right here
You live your life
In the shadow of a whirlwind
It might just come back again
I'll hold on to you
You hold on to me
And we'll stand our ground
On Tornado Alley
