[Verse 1]
Had a long hard day diggin’ fence post holes
Neighbors all fightin’ over garden gnomes
So I fired that tub up on my old back deck
Wasn’t wearin’ much
But I had my respect
Had my foam can koozie, Bluetooth tunes
Rubber duck floatin’ like a yellow pontoon
Then the sky went green, my phone went wild
Said “Seek shelter now”
I just sipped and smiled (uh-huh)
[Chorus]
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
Jets on high, I was half-baked, tender and dry
Next thing I know I’m in the big blue sky
Still soakin’, jokin’, ‘bout a mile high
Lord, if you’re wonderin’ why I’m late tonight
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
[Verse 2]
Spun past Walmart, over county line
Passed my ex’s house, she was hangin’ clothes dry
She dropped that basket, pointed right at me
I waved with my beer
Like “we’re history”
Flew by the church, preacher mid-sermon
Mouth wide open, think I saw him cursin’
Baptist choir pointin’ up in surprise
Guess I finally got
My water re-baptized (hallelujah)
[Chorus]
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
Jets on high, I was moonlit, marinated guy
Weather man yellin’ ‘bout the end of time
I’m ridin’ this spa like a carnival ride
Still soakin’, floatin’, ‘bout a mile high
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
[Bridge]
Landed in a cornfield, neighbors all stared
Sheriff took notes like, “son, what you wearin’ there?”
I said, “Ticket me later, I survived that spin”
He wrote “public nudity”
But I still can’t swim (hey!)
[Chorus]
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
Jets on high, now the whole town’s drivin’ by
Tour bus stop on the county road sign
Kids takin’ pictures of my tan line pride
Still soakin’, smokin’ like a deep-fried guy
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
[Instrumental]
[twin fiddle solo trading licks over full band two-step]
[Chorus]
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
Now every storm cloud’s like a theme park ride
If I disappear when the sirens cry
Check the radar for a whirlpool in the sky
Still soakin’, hopin’ lightning don’t try
I was in a hot tub when a tornado blew by
