Hey, good girl
With your head in the clouds
I bet you I can tell you
What you're thinkin' about
You'll see a good boy
Gonna give you the world
But he's gonna leave you cryin'
With your heart in the dirt
His lips are dripping honey
But he'll sting you like a bee
So lock up all your lovin'
Go and throw away the key
Hey good girl
Get out while you can
I know you think you got a good man
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
Just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to gettin' on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go
Better listen to me
He's low, low, low
Hey, good girl
You got a heart of gold
You want a white wedding
And a hand you can hold
Just like a should, girl
Like every good girl does
Want a fairytale ending, somebody to love
But he's really good at lying
Yeah, he'll leave you in the dust
'Cause when he says forever
Well, it don't mean much
Hey good girl
So good for him
Better back away honey
You don't know where he's been
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
Just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to gettin' on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go
Yeah yeah yeah, he's low
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh, he's no good, girl
Why can't you see?
He'll take your heart and break it
Listen to me, yeah
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
Just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, he's no good
Won't you open up your eyes?
Just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to gettin' on your goodbye shoes

Blown Away
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 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 '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
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 '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
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 'til it's all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'til there's nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old 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 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'til there's nothing left standing,

Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,

Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind

[Chorus:]

Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'til there's nothing left standing,

Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away

Two Black Cadillacs
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One is for his wife,
The other for the woman who loved him at night
Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time
[Chorus:]
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
Bye, Bye Bye, Bye
Yeah they took turns laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye Bye
Two black Cadillacs, two black Cadillacs
Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he'd been lying to both of them for oh so long
They decided then he'd never get away with doing this to them
Two black Cadillacs waiting for the right time, right time
[Chorus:]
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
Bye bye, Bye bye
Yeah they took turns laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah yeah
[Bridge:]
It was the first and the last time they saw each other face to face
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
And left the secret at the grave
[Chorus:]
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils they didn't bother to cry

See You Again
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun
Slipped away
But I won't cry
'Cause I know I'll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
Calling me back in time
Back to you
In a place far away
Where the water meets the sky
The thought of it makes me smile
You are my tomorrow
I will see you again, whoa
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
'Til I see you again
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on 'cause I know

Do You Think About Me
That first cold September night
You were the blanket holding me tight
You were kissing me and the years stood still
You said we don't have to, I said I will, yeah
We ran in when the thunder came
You told me sugar melts in the rain
Don't want to watch our love go to waste
So we ran inside for it was too late
Oh I, Oh I, I'm not even trying
Oh I, Oh I, but I can't stop smiling, yeah
[Chorus:]
Do you think about me
Like I think about you?
Do you think about me
Like I think about you, yeah?
I moved on to another town
Wrote you letters 'til the ink ran out
When the clouds rolled in I grabbed the keys
And played that song that we used to sing
I met a boy a lot like you
It's funny how he used to sing it too
But he always just a little out of key
So much different than you and me
Oh I, Oh I, I'm not even trying
Oh I, Oh I, but I can't stop smiling, yeah
[Chorus:]
Do you think about me
Like I think about you?
Do you think about me
Like I think about you?
Oh, yeah
[Bridge:]
Sometimes I wonder if you wonder
What it could have been like
When you're sitting there drinking coffee
Are you thinking of me
When it's thundering and raining outside?
Oh I, oh I, I'm not even trying
Oh I, oh I, but I can't stop smiling
Oh I, oh I, it's sending me flying
Oh I, oh I, but I can't stop smiling, Yeah
[Outro:]

Forever Changed
She remembers the nights he'd come calling
His yellow-silk tie
In love she saw him falling for her in the fire of July
Then one day as the nights grew longer
Blackberry winter in a little white church
Stood a young pretty bride
[Chorus:]
Forever changed,
Forever changed,
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever named,
Forever changed
She remembers the change in her body
The blooming within
And how her heart seemed to flutter with the wind
Then one night as the days grew longer
That Indian summer
She brought love into the world
Cried and held me then
[Chorus:]
Forever changed,
Forever changed,
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever child,
Forever changed
Some days she'll talk about aunt Rosie
The sister she lost
Asking when she's coming over
And why she hasn't called
Some days I just hold her fragile hand
As time creeps across the floor
Some days it almost kills me
Watching her memories slip away a little more
[Outro:]

Nobody Ever Told You
Take off all the makeup, girl
Shine your light, show the world

Turn off the static on the TV
Wish you could see yourself the way I do
[Chorus:]
Nobody ever told you
Nobody ever told you
You shine like a diamond
Glitter like gold
And you need to know
What nobody ever told you
Yeah
La la la la la

Acting like it knows it all
Tells you lies of vanity
It doesn't care what's underneath
All hung up on the negative
Doesn't have to be the way it is
Wish you could see yourself the way I do

Nobody ever told you
Yeah, nobody ever told you
You shine like a diamond
Glitter like gold

One Way Ticket
If you're tired of your life and the way that you feel
Like a fish on a hook,
Like a bug on a dirty windshield, it's ok
It's time to take your chips and cash them all in
Cause it matters where you're going
Not where you been, say hey
Goodbye yesterday
Well if life don't go your way
Maybe it's time to take a break,
Yeah, yeah

Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life
Get your feet up, uh, and just kick it, hey

Life is like a ride on a party bus
Turn the radio up and sing along with it, hey
We got a one way ticket
So pack up your smile and your new flip flops
We're headed to a heaven where the beat don't stop
We'll dance the day and the night away
Grab yourself a gal,
Grab yourself a fella,
Grab yourself a drink with a pink umbrella
Goodbye yesterday
Whenever life don't go your way
Well, maybe it's time to take a nice long break
[Chorus:]
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life

Life is so good, it's sticky sweet
It's a carnival cotton candy treat
Unwrap it like a lollipop, lick it, hey

Thank God For Hometowns
Yesterday I got a call
Someone I didn't know at all passed away
Mama said, "Yeah you know him
You went to school with both his kids
They lived out on Prescott lane"
She said, "You should've seen the line
Mrs. Johnson said to tell you 'Hi'"
[Chorus:]
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes you go round
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for Church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
Cause when you're lost out in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Yeah
Last June my cousin tied the knot,
Didn't know if I'd go or not
But I'm sure glad I did
It was a pretty good haul but worth the drive
I could feel myself come back to life
The closer that I'd get
First red light I rolled the windows down
Breathed it in and took a look around
[Chorus:]
Thank God for hometowns
First kisses and touchdowns
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for Church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
And when you're lost out in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
[Bridge:]
I always find another piece of me
Walking down these old familiar streets
[Chorus:]
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes them go round
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for Church pews
And all the faces that won't forget you
And when you're lost out in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Thank God for hometowns
Someone I didn't know at all passed away

Good In Goodbye
I heard you laughing in a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to
I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks
It took me back
You looked happy with that little girl up on your shoulders, happy
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue
Time's been sweet to you
[Chorus:]
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes, there's good in goodbye
I don't regret it
The time we had together
I won't forget it
But we both ended up where we belong
I guess goodbye made us strong
And yeah I'm happy
I found somebody too who makes me happy
And I knew one day I'll see you on the street
And it'd be bittersweet
[Chorus:]
But as bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Yeah, sometimes, yeah sometimes, there's good in goodbye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro:]
As bad as it was, yeah, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding on to someone that you got to let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Yeah, someday you'll see the reason why
There's good in goodbye, yeah
Yeah
There's good in goodbye, mmm
I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks
It took me back
You looked happy with that little girl up on your shoulders, happy
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue
Time's been sweet to you
[Chorus:]
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes, there's good in goodbye
I don't regret it
The time we had together
I won't forget it
But we both ended up where we belong
I guess goodbye made us strong
And yeah I'm happy
I found somebody too who makes me happy
And I knew one day I'll see you on the street
And it'd be bittersweet

I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved

Leave Love Alone
Funny how love can make you feel
Crush you like a ton of steel
Fake you out, make you think it's real
Funny how love can make you feel, yeah

Cupids Got A Shotgun
Oh he gave up on arrows a long, long time ago
Turns out I'm too hard to hit so he put away his bow
I might just keep on runnin' from here to Timbuktu
'Cause he gave up on arrows and I ain't bulletproof
[Chorus:]
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me
He's sitting in that tree stand and his wings are camouflage
I'm dug down in my foxhole waiting on his next barrage
Must be open season, got a target on my back
Think he's throwing love grenades and I'm under attack
[Chorus:]
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me, yeah
[Bridge:]
Well he's got me in his sights, I've got a red dot on my chest
But little does he know I strapped on my Kevlar vest
I pulled out my Remington and I loaded up these shells
He's about to find out I'm a dang good shot myself
[Chorus:]
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun
But right now he's running from me, wooh
Turns out I'm too hard to hit so he put away his bow
I might just keep on runnin' from here to Timbuktu
'Cause he gave up on arrows and I ain't bulletproof
[Chorus:]
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me
He's sitting in that tree stand and his wings are camouflage
I'm dug down in my foxhole waiting on his next barrage
Must be open season, got a target on my back

Wine After Whiskey
Once upon a time our world was on fire and I loved to watch it burn
Wild and reckless, never any limits, guess I had a lot to learn
Cause fire turns to embers, embers to ashes that blow away too soon
[Chorus:]
Now everything's after you is like having wine after whiskey
It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me
Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back
And you can't settle on anything less
And that's what gets me. It's like having wine after whiskey
Looking back I guess it's really for the best, still you're something that I crave
Even though I know it was right to let you go. You're a habit hard to break
I got used to being high and nothing that I try seems good enough right now
[Chorus:]
It's all so watered down like having wine after whiskey
It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me
Once you've tasted a love that strong
You can't go back and you can't settle on anything less
And that's what gets me. It's like having wine after whiskey
[Outro:]
Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back
And you can't settle on anything less
And that's what gets me.
It's like having wine
It's like having wine after whiskey
Wild and reckless, never any limits, guess I had a lot to learn
Cause fire turns to embers, embers to ashes that blow away too soon
[Chorus:]
Now everything's after you is like having wine after whiskey
It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me
Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back
And you can't settle on anything less

It's like having wine

Who Are You
Who are you,
The one for who I'd really gladly suffer
Who are you,
The one I'd always love above another
You're my world, you're my hope, you're all my dreams and all my heart
[Chorus:]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you,
that loves as deep as I do
Who are you,
Who takes me through the flood and through the fire
Who are you,
Who leads me through the desert and the dry
You're in my thoughts, you know my mind
You are my fate, you are my light
[Chorus:]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you,
that loves as deep as I do
[Bridge:]
You're my savior, you're my center
My beginning and my end
You're the one I live for, you're my angel
Who are you
You're in my thoughts (in my thoughts)
You know my mind (you know my mind)
You are my fate, you are my light
[Outro:]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you,
that loves as deep as I do
Who are you
Who fell on me like fire
Who are you,
Who takes me through desire
Who are you,
The one I'd give my life to.
The one for who I'd really gladly suffer
Who are you,
The one I'd always love above another
You're my world, you're my hope, you're all my dreams and all my heart
[Chorus:]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you,
that loves as deep as I do
Who are you,
Who takes me through the flood and through the fire
Who are you,
Who leads me through the desert and the dry
You're in my thoughts, you know my mind
You are my fate, you are my light
[Chorus:]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you,
that loves as deep as I do

You're my savior, you're my center

You're the one I live for, you're my angel
Who are you
You're in my thoughts (in my thoughts)

Who are you,
Who takes me through desire
Who are you,
The one I'd give my life to.

Blown Away is the fourth studio album by American singer and songwriter Carrie Underwood. It was released in the United States and Canada on May 1, 2012, by Arista Nashville. After finishing her successful Play On Tour in December 2010 to promote her third studio album Play On, Underwood started working on the album, but took her time, as she "wanted to change things up", and needed to step away from the "celebrity bubble" to "have real things to write about and to sing about". It took her over one year to finish the album, which, according to Underwood, ended up having a "darker storyline" than her previous efforts.
Met with mostly positive reviews from music critics, the album became a commercial success. It debuted at number one on Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 267,000 copies, achieving the third-largest opening of 2012. With Blown Away reaching number one, Underwood became the third female to chart at number one on the Billboard 200 with three country albums, tying her with Linda Ronstadt and Faith Hill. Like her three previous albums, Blown Away debuted at the top of the Top Country Albums chart. The album remained at number one for a second week on the Billboard 200, becoming her first album to spend more than one week at the top of that chart. It topped the "Top Country Albums" chart for seven weeks.
Blown Away was the seventh best selling album overall and second best-selling country album of 2012 in the US. It finished 2012 with over 1.4 million copies sold worldwide, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Blown Away has since sold around 1.8 million copies in the US and over two million copies worldwide. In January 2020, the album was certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA.
It spawned the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 and Country Airplay number-one singles "Good Girl" and "Blown Away", along with the Country Airplay top-two hits "Two Black Cadillacs" and "See You Again". All singles received multi-Platinum or Platinum certifications.
In 2013, at the 55th Grammy Awards, Underwood won the Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance for "Blown Away", which also won Best Country Song for its songwriters. The album won the American Music Award for Favorite Country Album.
