Tumbleweed lyrics

Artist  : Bill Miller 
Song : Tumbleweed



 Send "Tumbleweed" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Far across the Mississippi and out on the open
plains 



In an Oklahoma cow town where the sky begins to
rain 



In a dusty run-down honky tonk sits a drifting
tumbleweed 



Thumbing through some magazine that he can't even
read 







Now tumbleweed remembers how the west was won and
lost 



The homestead act and the dust bowl, everybody
paid the cost 



And the great white father promised to treat his
children all the same 



Back when Indian territory was Oklahoma's name








Oh tumbleweed keep rollin', he just roams from
town to town 



It ain't easy for a half-breed kid to try and
settle down 



Tumbleweed keep rollin', he can't find no place
to rest 



Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed like some
spirit of the west 







Well his boot heals tap in time to an old flat
top guitar 



And he's a guitar local hero and he sings
straight from the heart 



And his tip jar just a jungle of worn old dollar
bills 



He makes his rent and grocery in the local bar
and grill 







When he starts to picking that old guitar you
know the people turn and stare 



When he starts to sing the songs he wrote wells
there's magic in the air 



Cause his song can heal your wounded heart, he
can set you spirit free 



He can raise you hopes to be the very best that
you can be 







Oh tumbleweed keep rollin', he just roams from
town to town 



It ain't easy for a half-breed kid to try and
settle down 



Tumbleweed keep rollin', he can't find no place
to rest 



Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed like some
spirit of the west 







So if you cross the Mississippi, you head out on
the open plain 



And you pass through Oklahoma and the sky begins
to rain 



And you feeling kind of rootless, you can't find
no place to rest 



Just remember tumbleweed, he's the spirit of the
west 







Oh the desert blows old tumbleweed like some
spirit of the west
