We were shaking in our beds that night There were strangers in the streets that night Preacher cried out hellÕs been raised Another hot Oklahoma night Another hot Oklahoma night The kind of night where you just sit still The kind of night where you just donÕt move We were shaking in our beds that night We were shaking in our boots that night Tornado hit and the roof gave way Tornado hit and all we could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think How was I to know what I was to feel How am I to say what I canÕt feel How an I to face what I cannot hide
We were looking in our hearts that day There was movement in our hearts that day They were talking but we could not hear They were talking but we could not hear Fever broke and the dead raised up The ground broke open and the dead were raised The kind of night where you just sit spooked ItÕs a hard life, itÕs a hard life We were looking in our hearts that day We were hugging in our beds that night Storm hit and the roof gave way When a man cries it ainÕt easy but he swore duty, body and soul
How was I to know what I was to think How was I to know what I was to feel How an I to say what I canÕt describe How an I to face what I cannot hide
Momma said you know she ainÕt that strong
We were praying in our hearts that day God, there was movement in our hearts They were praying but I could not feel They were praying but I couldnÕt feel Another hot Oklahoma night Another Oklahoma night Fools part as the day breaks wide HeavenÕs doors were opened wide I quit, so I said give up He said I canÕt stop the lights not gone Once in a blue moon shown against that day And my heart rips open and all I could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think How was I to know what I was to feel How am I to say what I canÕt describe
