Intro : (2x) Dry lightning cracks across the skies Those storm clouds gather in her eyes Her Daddy was a mean ole mister Mama was an angel in the ground The weather man called for a twister She prayed blow it down There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past Shatter every window till it's all blown away Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away Till there's nothing left standing Nothing left to yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away Blown away          She heard those sirens screaming out Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch She locked herself in the cellar Listened to the screaming of the wind Some people called it taking shelter She called it sweet revenge Shatter every window till it's all blown away Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away Till there's nothing left standing Nothing left to yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away Blown away          There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past Shatter every window till it's all blown away Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away Till there's nothing left standing Nothing left to yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away Blown away          Blown away          Blown away          Blown away          Blown away

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les luttes d'une femme face à un passé chargé de douleur et de souvenirs traumatisants. Elle célèbre la force de surmonter des épreuves, avec l'image d'une tempête qui symbolise à la fois la destruction et la catharsis. Elle se réfugie dans un endroit sûr pour échapper à la violence de son environnement familial, cherchant à tout effacer, à tout « balayer » – les souvenirs, les blessures, et le poids du passé. Le contexte présente la vie difficile d'une enfance marquée par l'abus et l'angoisse, avec une figure paternelle tyrannique et un besoin désespéré de retrouver la paix. C'est une réflexion sur la quête de liberté et la nécessité de se libérer de ce qui nous empêche d'avancer.
