I hope her team has something in store, because so far, this whole era has been very quiet. Unusual for Carrie.

"Blown Away" sounds so good!!!!

Why'd they pick "Good Girl" was the first single? Most of these songs sound SO much better! Lauhing

This song may be easily one of the best songs Carrie has recorded to date. Incredible. I will be seriously enraged if it's not released as a single.

"BLOWN AWAY"
Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Daddy was mean ole mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
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 till it’s all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away
Till there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left to yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away

She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people called it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge

[Chorus]
Shatter every window till it’s all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away
Till there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left to yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away

[Outro]
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
Shatter every window till it’s all blown away,
(blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away
(flown away)
Till there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left to yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away

I'm hearing they already shot a music video for it and it will indeed be the second single.

"Following Good Girl, people are wondering what could be the second single that Carrie has readied for country radio. And word is, it’s a song that will stun and amaze.

Blown Away is the song that will, in fact, blow country radio away.

Starting with an ominous forecast of freak weather hitting Oklahoma, a recent article in Billboard Magazine mentioned a lyric from the song: “Some people called it taking shelter. She called it taking sweet revenge.”

The song, according to Sony Nashville’s chairman and CEO Gary Overton is very close to a mini-movie. The whole song is very dramatic. The production on it is very tight. The lyrics are shocking and Carrie’s delivery is exquisite. In fact, Carrie had the following to say about the song:

"I’ve never been so excited to hear a demo as I was that one. I got chills…we needed to find things that would fit with this [song], because if I found 13 other tracks that didn’t match with that one, I’d start over and keep that one.”

Blown Away tells the tale of an aggressive father who meets his maker at the mercy of mother nature, in a vengeful feat of his wife and daughter. Lyrically, the song is a metaphorical powerhouse, “There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma to wash the sins out of this house.” Whatever went down in that house, she is ready to let it go, including the man who caused it all. Critics are already calling Blown Away "the greatest story in her discography."
