Old Crow Medicine Show – Whirlwind lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the first day that I saw you
Walkin' home in your muddy boots
'Cross the empty fields at harvest time
Hummin' a familiar tune
I stopped and sang with you
We watched the yellow moon rise

[Verse 2]
Later on outside your fence
We shared a little dance
I knew I loved ya even then
And in that autumn sky
We watched a storm go by
It's been that way ever since

[Chorus]
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground
In a dozen little sleepy towns
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder
Without hearts full of hunger
And our hopes lookin' upward once again
Babe it's been a whirlwind

[Verse 3]
There were babies died and babies born
Flood and drought and world war
We saw the worst years and the best
In every town another chance
Tryin' to build a winning hand
Even when the cards were stacked against

[Verse 4]
Oh and I remember why we dance
Gentle as a passing a glance
The warmth of your breath against my cheek
Then hearin' that loud thunder roll
On and on we strolled
Went racin' home down rainy streets

[Chorus]
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground
In a dozen little sleepy towns
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder
Without hearts full of hunger
And our hopes lookin' upward once again
Babe it's been a whirlwind
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground
In a dozen little sleepy towns
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder
Without hearts full of hunger
And our hopes lookin' upward once again
Babe it's been a whirlwind
Oh Babe it's been a whirlwind
