Tumbleweed (Album Version) - Bill Miller[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter Rowan[00:00:01]
Far across the Mississippi and out on the open plains[00:00:22]
In an Oklahoma cow town where the sky begins to rain[00:00:28]
In a dusty run down honky tonk sits a drifting tumbleweed[00:00:33]
Thumbing through some magazine that he can't even read[00:00:39]
Now tumbleweed remembers how the west was won and lost[00:00:46]
The homestead act and the dust bowl everybody paid the cost[00:00:51]
And the great white father promised to treat his children all the same[00:00:57]
Back when indian territory was Oklahoma's name[00:01:02]
Oh tumbleweed keep rollin' he just roams from town to town[00:01:09]
It ain't easy for a half breed kid to try and settle down[00:01:15]
Tumbleweed keep rollin' he can't find no place to rest[00:01:21]
Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed like some spirit of the west[00:01:26]
Well his boot heals tap in time to an old flat top guitar[00:01:54]
And he's a guitar local hero and he sings straight from the heart[00:01:59]
And his tip jar just a jungle of worn old dollar bills[00:02:05]
He makes his rent and grocery in the local bar and grill[00:02:10]
When he starts to picking that old guitar you know the people turn and stare[00:02:17]
When he starts to sing the songs he wrote wells there's magic in the air[00:02:23]
Cause his song can heal your wounded heart he can set you spirit free[00:02:28]
He can raise you hopes to be the very best that you can be[00:02:33]
Oh tumbleweed keep rollin' he just roams from town to town[00:02:40]
It ain't easy for a half breed kid to try and settle down[00:02:46]
Tumbleweed keep rollin' he can't find no place to rest[00:02:52]
Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed like some spirit of the west[00:02:57]
So if you cross the Mississippi you head out on the open plain[00:03:24]
And you pass through Oklahoma and the sky begins to rain[00:03:29]
And you feeling kind of rootless you can't find no place to rest[00:03:35]
Just remember tumbleweed he's the spirit of the west[00:03:41]
Oh the desert blows old tumbleweed like some spirit of the west[00:03:52]
