Layng Martine Jr I Was Blown Away Lyrics

I Was Blown Away Lyrics

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 

  

 Chorus 

  

 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
