Tumbleweed

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] There’s a fence post leaning by the county line Paint peeled off in a dozen summers’ time I tied my coat where the barbed wire bends Then the north wind came and took it again [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got dust in my pockets And a map with no town Every road I remember Keeps turning me around [Chorus] I’m a tumbleweed rolling where the dry grass parts No house key, no mailbox, no place to park my heart When the wind says go, I don’t ask it why I cross another mile beneath a copper sky I’m a tumbleweed, still turning by [Verse 2] Found a blue tin cup in an empty shed And a faded photograph of a girl in red She had one hand raised like she knew my name But the corner was torn and the face had changed [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got rain in the distance And a train far away If I stop for a minute The ground starts to sway [Chorus] I’m a tumbleweed rolling where the dry grass parts No house key, no mailbox, no place to park my heart When the wind says go, I don’t ask it why I cross another mile beneath a copper sky I’m a tumbleweed, still turning by [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll settle In a field behind a barn Let the morning find me sleeping With both boots where they are But tonight the open country Has a hand against my back And the moon hangs like a lantern Over every railroad track [Final Chorus] I’m a tumbleweed rolling where the dry grass parts No house key, no mailbox, no place to park my heart When the wind says go, I don’t ask it why I cross another mile beneath a copper sky I’m a tumbleweed, still turning by Still turning by [Outro] Past the fence post, past the county line Carried by a restless wind tonight
