Tumbleweed

Tumbleweed Music and Lyrics by Susan Ritchie Verse 1 Just this morning I got word You’re talking like you’re back for good I know the desert and I know you better A Joshua tree runs deep, deep down Can’t count on rain touching ground A tumbleweed needs to be untethered Chorus Tumbleweed roll, roll, tumbleweed roll Roll on down the lonesome miles You rolled right in, got under my skin Now I got you in my bones So, I know how a tumbleweed rolls Verse 2 I have walked a trail of tears And drowned my sorrows in my beers This place wants to break you It’ll fool you into thinking it’s dead Then you find it lives beneath instead The soul of a woman knows what’s true (Chorus) Bridge I could ask you 20 questions And watch you conjure up some lies But you see an open thumb, and the wide open road And I see distance in your eyes Verse 3 So, go on tellin’ your good story ‘Bout the taming of the wild coyote And all the ways he’s misunderstood But you’ll tap that shot glass once again Shout, “One more round” before you catch the wind Just like I always knew you would (Chorus) Outro Roll, roll, tumbleweed roll, I know how you roll You rolled right in got under my skin and I’m a pile of broken bones But I know how a tumbleweed rolls on down the lonesome road
