==================A Perfect Day to Chase Tornadoes=====
way down south I know a girl who is blind
she walks alone along a lonely highway each day
she dreams that one day a man will pull up in a car
he'll open up the door, she'll climb in, and he will say:
Hey, babe, whatcha know? I hope you're ready to go
because today is a perfect day to chase tornadoes
chase tornadoes
yeah, when the wild wind kicks around your head
you know that you have found a perfect day
to chase tornadoes
what about that preacher-man on the run from the law?
he killed a girl in Memphis and ran til the dogs tracked him down
they shot him down by the river
as he lay dying in the mud someone asked him,
Hey preacher, where's your soul going to now?
Preacher said: Well, I do not know; but wherever it is I'll gladly go
because today is a perfect day to chase tornadoes
chase tornadoes
yeah, when the wild wind kicks around your head
you know that you have found a perfect day
to chase tornadoes
sometimes I think that the sky is a prison and the earth is a grave
sometimes I feel like Jesus in some Chinese opera
sometimes I'm glad I built my mansions from crazy little stones
but sometimes I feel so goddamned trapped by everything that I know
and I wish it wasn't so
because the only thing anyone should ever know is that
today is a perfect day to chase tornadoes
chase tornadoes
yeah, when the wild wind kicks around your head
you know that you have found a perfect day
to chase tornadoes
