Carrie Newcomer - Tornado Alley lyrics

You and I are are two of a kind Two restless spirits of the same mind We know the risks and yet we stay We're brave or crazy or stubborn that way You live your life In the shadow of a whirlwind It might just come back again I'll hold on to you You hold on to me And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley The old ones talk about the one in '43 It blew through town unexpectedly A little girl was found cryin' down by the mill run And to this day nobody knows where she came from You live your life In the shadow of a whirlwind It might just come back again I'll hold on to you You hold on to me And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley Now everyone's got some story of narrow escape Won by luck, fate or grace You can run for cover, but you cannot hide The only safe place is the one that you hold inside It's a misfit, a wild card, it's living in your backyard It hears no voice but its ownYou live your life In the shadow of a whirlwind It might just come back again I'll hold on to you You hold on to me And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley There's just some things you just can't tame Some mysteries you'll never call by name
