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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
