It was a bright sunny day
The wind was so calm
Momma's cooking
And everything is sound
Then the sky turned dark
And a cool breeze
Filled my heart
And the sirens
They all rang
But before we all knew
Down on the ground (Down the ground, down the ground)
So were running through the woods
To the tiny shack in the woods
And we all got down
Before the tornado touched
The tornado touched
On the ground on the ground
Well the tornado touched
The tornado touched
The tornado touched
On the ground
Well momma was in the kitchen
When the tornado touched
Spread out on like dessert to the sky
We didn't witness
But Momma went off in flight
When the tornado touched down
Tornado touched
The tornado touched on the ground
Our little hope was left inside the grope
When the tornado touched down (touched down)
When the tornado touched on the ground (touched on the ground)
Well we didn't know no better
There was always leather (leather)
Always (always) is better
Tornado touched on the ground (on the ground)
Well our own little town was wiped out in one big sound
When the tornado touched on the ground
Well it spread for miles and miles (miles and miles)
I don't think its vile
When the tornado touched on the ground (on the ground)
Well momma went on in science
And the inch went into the night
And we didn't see no momma anymore (anymore, anymore, no more)
Well after the tornado touched
It touched on down
We went searching
We found our momma (on the ground) (momma)
She was laying on the ground (oh, momma)
She didn't make no sound
Oh momma (momma), the tornado touched round
Been a week or more
Since the tornado touched
On the ground (on the ground)
Well we all buried Momma
And we moved right on out of town
We ain't coming back for no more
No more tornado touching down
'Cause we just saw one touch on the ground (on the ground, on the ground)
When the tornado touched on the ground
