In the heartland where the wind blows strong
There's a tale of fear in a country song
Twisters dance across the sky so wide
In Oklahoma where the bravest hide
Sittin' on the front porch, watchin' skies turn gray
Mama's callin' out, "Better come inside and pray
The radio's cracklin', warnin' us to flee
But we hold tight to the land that's wild and free
Tornado alley, where the sirens wail
Oklahoma's love and fear, intertwined like a tale
Hidin' in the cellar, holdin' on so tight
Prayin' for the mornin' after the fright
In the aftermath, we count our blessings dear
Neighbors helpin' neighbors, holdin' back the tear
Though the storm may pass and the damage mend
The memory of its fury never will end
