Intro: 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 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 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
