Tornado Alley - Carrie Newcomer

You and I are 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 our ground 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 its ownYou 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

There’s just some things you just can’t tame

Some mysteries you’ll never call by name
