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,...
[Verse 1]
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 weatherman called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away
Blown away (Blown away)
[Verse 2]
She heard those sirens screamin' out
Her daddy laid there, passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screamin' of the wind
Some people called it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge
[Chorus]
Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away
Blown away
[Pre-Chorus]
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 (Blown away)
[Chorus]
Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away
Blown away
[Outro]

I was in the kitchen, making dinner and I played that song and I had to find my headphones so I could listen to it and get a better listen,” she explained. “I found them, listened to it, had chills. I called the manager up and said, ‘Hey, I have to have this song.’ And as soon as we got off the phon...
In an interview with CMT Underwood discussed the music video, and how the opening scene was a tough one to shoot:
That was a last-minute thing. We weren’t originally planning to do that, but obviously in getting in there and making the video, it would make sense that father and daughter actually in...
