Tornado

My name's not important, but they call me Tornado

I was raised on a beaten-down ranch outside of Laredo

Many tried to break me, but I would never be broke

Left 'em nursin' their pride with their heads hangin' low

I got sideways with some cowboy, a short ride in Casper

He was strong, he was stout, there ain't doubt, but I was faster

Yeah, I've been under the lights on a few Saturday nights

And to tell you the truth, that's when I shine

I've been on the road for so long

I've thrown every cowboy that tried to hold on

All the money and the buckles turn my glory days gold

Now I'm growin' old

They call me Tornado

Five-time Horse of the Year, I had a good run

The years and the fame flew by like yesterday's sun

But every man used to fear me when he drew my name

Those days are long gone, they faded away

I've been on the road for so long

I've thrown every cowboy that tried to hold on

All the money and the buckles turn my glory days gold

But now I'm growin' old

They call me Tornado

They call me Tornado

My name's not important, but they call me Tornado
