Lyrics
He said excuse me mister
I see that shovel's giving you a blister
Are you new here in tornado town
He handed me some gloves
Said for now they'll do
But I wouldn't stay long boy
Cause if you knew
You'd just blow on through
I said I packed up had to leave the city
Slept on a strangers couch cause he took pity
This the only place with steady work
I thought I might settle down
But he said there's things out of our control
He said these things things that I don't know
But if I knew
I'd just blow on through
The locals never leave
New folk aren't allowed to stay
In the dark the wind blows strong
In the dark's how they maintain
Cause if you weren't born in this town
No you're not one of the few
I speak the truth
Just blow on through
