1
Far across the Mississippi and out on the open plains
2
In an Oklahoma cow town where the sky begins to rain
3
In a dusty run-down honky tonk sits a drifting tumbleweed
4
Thumbing through some magazine that he can't even read
5
Now tumbleweed remembers how the west was won and lost
6
The homestead act and the dust bowl, everybody paid the cost
7
And the great white father promised to treat his children all the same
8
Back when Indian territory was Oklahoma's name
9
Oh tumbleweed keep rollin', he just roams from town to town
10
It ain't easy for a half-breed kid to try and settle down
11
Tumbleweed keep rollin', he can't find no place to rest
12
Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed like some spirit of the west
13
Well his boot heals tap in time to an old flat top guitar
14
And he's a guitar local hero and he sings straight from the heart
15
And his tip jar just a jungle of worn old dollar bills
16
He makes his rent and grocery in the local bar and grill
17
When he starts to picking that old guitar you know the people turn and stare
18
When he starts to sing the songs he wrote wells there's magic in the air
19
'Cause his song can heal your wounded heart, he can set you spirit free
20
He can raise you hopes to be the very best that you can be
21
Oh tumbleweed keep rollin', he just roams from town to town
22
It ain't easy for a half-breed kid to try and settle down
23
Tumbleweed keep rollin', he can't find no place to rest
24
Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed like some spirit of the west
25
So if you cross the Mississippi, you head out on the open plain
26
And you pass through Oklahoma and the sky begins to rain
27
And you feeling kind of rootless, you can't find no place to rest
28
Just remember tumbleweed, he's the spirit of the west
29
Oh the desert blows old tumbleweed like some spirit of the west
