Tracy Lawrence - Texas Tornado

Texas Tornado

Tracy Lawrence performs "Texas Tornado"

"Texas Tornado" is a song written by Bobby Braddock, and recorded by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence. It was released in April 1995 as the third single from Lawrence's album I See It Now. It became his sixth Number One hit on the Billboard country singles charts and also reached number-one on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.

Braddock was inspired to write "Texas Tornado" by a tempestuous relationship with a romantic partner who had considered becoming a professional storm chaser. The song is a mid-tempo country ballad in which the narrator recalls a lover, whom he describes as a "Texas tornado, blowing [him] away again". It was also the only track on I See It Now that Lawrence produced himself.

Tracy Lawrence - Texas Tornado Lyrics

You called me up from Amarillo, said you were coming to town

And thought I'd like to tell you hello, and drive an old friend around

I pulled up to the airport, confident and cool

But when you stepped off that plane, I knew I was your fool

My Little Texas Tornado, blowing me away again

I swore it wouldn't happen again, but I looked at you and then

I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west Texas wind

You're blowing me away again

You're lying with me in Atlanta, it's such a beautiful lie

You play me like a piano, I always let you get by

I know I'll go through hell girl, when you find someone else

But right now I'm in heaven, and I can't help myself

I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west Texas wind

You're blowing me away again

Texas Tornado

Blowing me away again, I swore it wouldn't happen again

But I look at you and then

I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west Texas wind
