Big wind

Flowery cross on the roadside bend
Big wind gonna take it away
Trees round the barn and the chickens in the pen
Big wind gonna take it away
Black angus in the pasture
Running faster than you can catch her
On your daddy’s famous Arabian
Big wind gonna come it’ll all come undone
You better figure out what’s worth saving
Get in your car and drive
Get in your car

Gonna come on like a tornado cloud
Big wind gonna take it away
Better sit on the ground with your head bowed
Big wind gonna take it away
You put your knees up put your elbows down
Open up the window let the pressure out
Big wind gonna come it’ll all come undone
You better figure up what it’s all about
Get in your car and drive
Get in your car

Gonna come on like a monsoon rain
Big wind gonna take it away
Gonna kiss your hills and flood your plains
Big wind gonna take it away
All your little blind fishes
They’ll be calling out their wishes
They’ll be drowning in the light
Big wind gonna come it’ll all come undone
You better figure out what to keep dry
Get in your car and drive
Get in your car
