Tornado
Little Big Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Start a little storm, make a little rain
But I'm gonna do one better
Have the sun until you pray
I'm a tornado
Looking for a soul to take
You're gonna see me coming by the selfish things that you did
I'm gonna leave you guessing how this funnel is gonna hit
I'm a tornado, looking for a man to break
Yea I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put in the ground
Make sure you're never found, mm
Thought you'd take a swing try another girl, try another night
But it's the pain that brings my force of nature back to life
I'm a tornado, more disturbed than an F five
Hey I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put it in the ground
I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put it in the ground
Make sure you're never found, oh yeah, mm
I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put it in the ground
Yeah I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put it in the ground
Make sure you're never found
The winds are getting stronger and the sky is falling through
You ain't got much longer, 'til the rage rips off the roof
I'm a tornado and I'm coming after you
The lyrics of Tornado by Little Big Town talk about a woman who has been wronged by her lover and is seeking revenge. The singer portrays herself as a tornado, out to take the soul of the one who hurt her. She sings about how she will do one better than her lover by controlling the weather, having the sun until he prays. She is determined to cause chaos and destruction, turning his world upside down, and leaving him guessing about her next move.
The metaphor of the tornado and the weather is used to represent the intensity and tumultuousness of her emotions. She is angry and hurt, and her fury is portrayed as a natural disaster, unstoppable and destructive. The lyrics suggest that the person who hurt her is about to face the full force of her wrath, which is more disturbed than an F-five.
The song talks about the power dynamic in the relationship between the two, with the singer stating that she is looking for a man to break. She wants to show her lover that he cannot control her, and that she will not stand for his selfishness and mistreatment. In the end, the song suggests that her lover will be swept away by her rage, and she will be the one standing strong.

Y'all, let me just say, this here song by Little Big Town about a dangerous woman and a weather phenomenon sure hits close to home. It's like they took the wild power of nature and turned it into a story we can all relate to. And that harmony? Well, it's just as sweet as my grandma's homemade peach cobbler!
Now, I gotta give a big ol' shoutout to Little Big Town for reachin' 25 years together as a group. That's some true dedication and talent right there. Reminds me of the hard work us southern farmers put into our land day in and day out, rain or shine.
Speaking of natural phenomena, we've seen our fair share down here in the South. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms that can shake the barn off its foundation. But you know what? We keep on standin' strong, just like our great nation.
And hey, I reckon it's no secret that I'm a proud Trump voter. That man spoke to the heart of us hard-workin' folks, fightin' for our values and puttin' America first. Now, I don't want to get all political here, but I can't help but appreciate a good song that reminds me of the spirit of resilience we have in the South and across this great land.
So, hats off to Little Big Town for makin' music that touches our souls and celebratin' their 25 years together. Here's to many more years of singin' along to their tunes and prayin' for clear skies and bountiful harvests. God bless y'all, and God bless America! 🇺🇸🎶
