Dusty Tornado

Lyrics

Verse 1
I was born in a tin-roof town
With a red dirt name and a bad mud crown
Learned to ride when the creek ran high
And I chased them clouds like a fire in my eye

Mama said, boy, come in quick
That sky got teeth and a mean old trick
But I heard that thunder call my name
So I saddled up and I rode the same

Pre-Chorus
Now the fence posts shake
And the barn door bangs
I can feel that wild thing
Runnin’ through my veins

Chorus
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(hey, tornado riding cowboy)
Spin me loose, let me go
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(ride it out, ride it out)
Fast as the dust can blow

Verse 2
My horse got sweat on his silver mane
And his hooves hit hard like a summer rain
We cut through fields where the corn stands bent
Left a trail of trouble and a little wrecked

I don’t ask for a softer road
I like the hard turns and the heavy load
If the night gets rough and the sky goes black
I lean right in and I don’t look back

Pre-Chorus
Now the porch lights blur
And the cattle run
I hear that wild wind
Saying here I come

Chorus
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(hey, tornado riding cowboy)
Spin me loose, let me go
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(ride it out, ride it out)
Fast as the dust can blow

Bridge
If I break a fence, I’ll mend it
If I fall down, I’ll stand
With a storm in my saddle
And a rope in my hand

Final Chorus
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(hey, tornado riding cowboy)
Spin me loose, let me go
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(ride it out, ride it out)
Fast as the dust can blow
I’m that tornado riding cowboy
(tornado riding cowboy)
Watch me cross that open road
