Dry lightnin' cracks across the skies.
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes.
Her daddy was a mean old mister.
Momma was an angel in the ground.
The weather man called for a twister.
She prayed It'd blow 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 slammin' door, flown away. 'till theres nothin' left standin'. Nothin' left of yesterday. Every tear soaked whiskey memory blown away. Blown away-ay-ay.
She heard those sirens screamin' out. Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch.
She locked herself in the cellar, listened to the screamin' of the wind.
Some people call it takin' shelter
She calls it sweet revenge.
Shatter every window 'till it's all blown away. Every brick, every board, every slammin' door, flown away.'till there's nothing left standin'. Nothin' left of yesterday. Every tear soaked whiskey memory blown away. Blown away-ay-ay.
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 slammin' door, flown away. 'till there's nothin' left standin'. Nothin' left of yesterday. Every tear soaked whiskey memory blown away. Blown away. Blown away-ay-ay (x4)

There's not enough wind in Oklahoma to rip the nails out of the past
Underwood uses an allegory of natural disasters representing a daughter’s ultimate savior from her father’s alcoholism. Powerful lyrics, and very fitting music for it; the upbeat tempo and minor key arpeggios accentuate Underwood’s very apparent anger.
