I Was Blown Away

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
