    TORNADOES lyrics
    The clouds started forming at five o'clock pm
    The funnel clouds touched down
    five miles north of Russellville
    Sirens were blowing, clouds spat rain
    and as the things came threw, it sounded like a train
    "It came without no warning" said Bobbi Jo McLean
    She and husband Nolen always loved to watch the rain
    It sucked him out the window, he ain't come home again
    All she can remember is "It sounded like a train"
    Pieces of that truck stop, litter up the highway, I been told
    And I hear that missing trucker ended up in Kansas
    (or maybe it was Oz).
    The Nightmare Tour ended for my band and me
    the night all the shit went down
    A homecoming concert, the night the tornadoes hit my hometown.
    The few who braved the weather were sucked out of the auditorium
    I can still remember the sound of their applause in the rain
    as it echoed through them storm clouds, I swear, It sounded like a train.

    Today is April 27th 2022 and marks the 11th anniversary of the tornado super outbreak that hit my state of Alabama . So many people lost everything in the blink of an eye including life . Today to me is a sad reminder of how small we are and how quickly we can lose everything ,it's a reminder to take nothing we have for granted . There are forces out there much greater than we are. I remember this day as if it were yesterday and it was a very humbling experience to go through . I was living in a mobile home in Albertville Alabama at the time and had left . I wasn't sure if I would have a home to return to . I was blessed that my town was spared that day but a lot of people weren't so lucky so today , I take a moment of prayer and silence for those people who lost everything that day .

    One of the best rock albums of the new millennium. Unmatched in every way. May be the best of this current space and time. What's better? The Dirty South lives and breathes....It cares not for charts or consultants or corporate radio. This is art and a damn good listening experience!

    Crazy true story, the storm that inspired this song, I was about 5 years old that day and my parents were being shown our new home by a realtor when my parents saw the funnel cloud go over our new home. I of course we too young to remember. A few minutes later Arnold's truck stop got detroyed
