Jason Boland & the Stragglers - A Tornado & The Fool lyrics

[Verse 1] They deliver all the trouble to my front door Served my wife with papers and a gun Please remember the man with whom you're dealin' Never was a father or your son Just another dog you chose 'cause he would run [Verse 2] There's a wall cloud rollin' across the blue sky Karma manifest into a form If you wonder the reason why I'm smilin' It's because I know her love will keep me warm Yeah we're the kind of folks that kinda like a storm [Chorus] We batten down the hatches and hold each other close A joint and a couple matches feds the flame I'm afraid for you it's gettin' dark Sundown at the trailer park And nothin's gonna look the same A tornado doesn't ask the fool his name [Verse 3] Havin' vision that bear explainin' No answers in religion or the law Sendin' thugs out to call it all illusion Doesn't change belief in what I saw A translation of the writing on the wall [Chorus] We batten down the hatches and hold each other close A joint and a couple matches feds the flame I'm afraid for you it's gettin' dark Sundown at the trailer park And nothin's gonna look the same A tornado doesn't ask the fool his name [Chorus] We batten down the hatches and hold each other close A joint and a couple matches feds the flame For you my friend it's gettin' dark Lights out at the trailer park And nothin's gonna look the same A tornado doesn't ask the fool his name
