CARRIE UNDERWOOD - BLOWN AWAY
Dry Lightning Cracks Across The Skies
Those Storm Clouds Gather In Her Eyes
Her Daddy Was A Mean Old Mister
Mama Was An Angel In The Ground
The Weather Man Called For A Twister
She Prayed Blow It Down
There's Not Enough Rain In Oklahoma
To Wash The Sins Out Of That House
There's Not Enough Wind In Oklahoma
To Rip The Nails Out Of The Past
Shatter Every Window 'Till It's All Blown Away
Every Brick, Every Door, Every Slamming Door Blown Away
'Till There's Nothing Left Standing
Nothing Left Of Yesterday
Every Tear-Soakes Whiskey Memory Blown Away
Blown Away
She Heard Those Sirens Screaming Out
Her Daddy Laid There Passed Out On The Couch
She Locked Herself In The Cellar
Listening To The Screaming Of The Wind
Some People Call It Taking Shelter
She Called It Sweet Revenge
Shatter Every Window 'Till It's All Blown Away
Every Brick, Every Door, Every Slamming Door Blown Away
'Till There's Nothing Left Standing
Nothing Left Of Yesterday
Every Tear-Soakes Whiskey Memory Blown Away
Blown Away
There's Not Enough Rain In Oklahoma
To Wash The Sins Out Of That House
There's Not Enough Wind In Oklahoma
To Rip The Nails Out Of The Past
Shatter Every Window 'Till It's All Blown Away (Blown Away)
Every Brick, Every Door, Every Slamming Door Blown Away (Blown Away)
'Till There's Nothing Left Standing
Nothing Left Of Yesterday (Blown Away)
Every Tear-Soakes Whiskey Memory Blown Away
Blown Away, Blown Away, Blown Away, Blown Away
SONG FACTS

Producer(s): Mark Bright
This Chilling, Vengeful Tale Of A Young Girl With An Abusive, Alcoholic Father Is The Title Track Of American Country Singer Carrie Underwood's Fourth Studio Album. Speaking To A Group Of Nashville Journalists, The Singer Discussed Naming The Record After This Song: "The First Time I Heard The Song, I Knew I Had To Have It And It Was Like, 'That's The Title!' Hopefully Everyone Will Be Blown Away By The Album. I Think It's Pretty Special. Hopefully It's Not Just The Title Track But The Feeling People Will Get When They Listen To It."
The Randee St. Nicholas Directed Video Was Filmed In A Rural Area Outside Of Nashville And Stars Underwood As The Daughter Of A Violent Alcoholic. The Singer Appears To Be Channelling The Wizard Of Oz's Dorothy In Her Red Shoes And Blue And White Checkered Shirt Before A Violent Storm Changes Her Life.
The Song Was Underwood's 13th #1 Single On The Country Chart.
Underwood Told Reporters At A Party To Celebrate The Song Topping The Chart: "There Is A Lot Of Drama In The Song; It's A Dark Song Without Going Too Far In That Direction. When I First Heard The Song I Knew I Had To Sing It. When I Heard It, I Couldn't Imagine Anyone Else Singing It. Then I Thought, 'Album Title: Done. Tour Name: Done. Check Those Things Off My List!' It Fit So Much Of What I Was Looking For."
Underwood Performed "Blown Away" And "Two Black Cadillacs" At The Grammy Awards In 2013. She Seemed A Little Stiff At First, But When Images Started Appearing On Her Billowing Dress, It Was Clear Why: Images Were Being Projected On Her. "We Had A Dress Especially Made," She Said After The Show. "I Said I Should Take That Home And We Can Watch Movies On It."
"Blown Away" Won For Best Country Song And Best Country Solo Performance At The Ceremony.
This Won Video Of The Year At The 2013 CMT Music Awards.
