About The Song
Tracy Lawrence continues his chart-topping run.
Like Alibis before it, I See it Now produced four No. 1 hits. This one follows the album’s previous chart-toppers, “I See it Now” and “As Any Fool Can See.”
Bobby Braddock’s songwriting prowess is on full display here, and he has a strong singer here to deliver it.
Braddock wisely expands beyond the song’s central metaphor and keeps the focus on the on-and-off heartache. How’s this for a second verse?
You’re lying with me in Atlanta, it’s such a beautiful lie
You play me like a piano, I always let you get by
I know I’ll go through hell girl, when you find someone else
But right now I’m in heaven, and I can’t help myself
I’d still call this a slight notch below Lawrence at his best, but it’s a strong ballad that keeps Lawrence’s remarkable streak of quality records going.
One more No. 1 hit is on deck from I See it Now, and we’ll see it soon.

Lyrics
She called me up from Amarillo
Said she was coming to town
I thought I’d like to tell her “Hello”
And drive an old friend around
I pulled up to the airport
Confident and cool
But when she stepped off that plane
I knew I was her fool
My little Texas tornado
Blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn’t happen again
But I looked at her and then
I’m like a tumbleweed
In a wild west Texas wind
She’s blowing me away again
She’s lying with me in Atlanta
It’s such a beautiful lie
She plays me like a piano
I always let her get by
I know I’ll go through hell now
When she finds someone else
But right now I’m in Heaven
And I can’t help myself
My little Texas tornado
Blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn’t happen again
But I looked at her and then
I’m like a tumbleweed
In a wild west Texas wind
She’s blowing me away again
I’m like a tumbleweed
In a wild west Texas wind
She’s blowing me away
Texas tornado
Blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn’t happen again
But I look at her and then
I’m like a tumbleweed
In a wild west Texas wind
She’s blowing me away (again)
Texas tornado
Blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn’t happen again
But I look at her and then
I’m like a tumbleweed
In a wild west Texas wind
She’s blowing me…
