I Was Blown Away

You drove up in your pickup truck That hot September day Not a wisp of wind in the parking lot But honey I was blown away And later on that fall at the Dixie Mall When I didn't know what to say I seen hide nor hair of no dynamite But honey I was blown away Big sister said "You'd better watch out" I slammed my door and said "You don't know what you're talkin' about" Mama said I sang when the telephone rang And she called out "Honey, it's Ray" Like a piece of dust on a four lane road Honey I was blown away I'm talking 'bout smithereens Just you in a pair of jeans Now I know what crazy means Big sister said "You'd better watch out" I slammed my door and said "You don't know what you're talkin' about" Then one Tuesday night Daddy said "Some guy's on the porch with a big bouquet" You stood there with your slicked-back hair And honey, I was blown away And when we slipped out back Across the railroad track And you softly touched my face Well I never did feel a train go by But honey, I was blown away No, I never did feel a train go by But honey, I was blown away --- I Was Blown Away - Pam Tillis
