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

The 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 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
