I Was Blown Away

(layng martine, jr.)

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

(chorus)
Big sister said "you'd better watch out"
I slammed the door and said
"you don't know what you're talikng 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 talikng 'bout smithereens
Just you in a pair of jeans
Now i know what crazy means

(repeat chorus)

Then on a 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 slippe 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 vever did feel a train go by
But honey i was blown away
