lyrics

There was a tornado last night
In Calloway County
All the trees are gone
The rooftops are all missing

And I was holding your hand
When the sirens rang
Now I hold your hand
As we walk through the remains

We sifted through the wreckage
To salvage what we could
Found a few framed photos
Scattered through the neighborhood

Lot by lot we walk
And talk to our neighbors
Exchange our stories
Pray to our maker

At night we all gather
In the Red Cross shelter
The town was awfully lucky
There were any survivors

The papers said “only”
Thirty people died
But that’s thirty less neighbors
In our town tonight




Now I don’t know when
The insurance money comes in
We all say we’ll rebuild
As soon as we can

And everybody knows
Things won’t be the same
But everybody knows
It could happen again

There was a tornado last night
In Calloway County
All the trees are gone
The rooftops are all missing

And I was holding your hand
When the sirens rang
Now I hold your hand
As we walk through the remains
