Tumbleweed Town

歌詞

He said "I'm gone to west Texas" They said "Hell, you've gone crazy Ain't nothin out there But coyotes and comanches" But he headed out anyway As far as he could Till the heat finally got to them mules Sold whiskey and cigars To passin' through would-be settlers But no body wants to settle Where there ain't no damn water But then they figured out a windmill Could pump it from the ground And up sprang a tumbleweed town Chorus: Where the lonely wind blows Like it's angry for bein' there A flat piece of stone In the middle of no where The town never grows Cause no body can keep their roots down It's a tumbleweed town They came in like gypsies To steal that black gold And the town's population Increased hundred more But they scattered like quail When all the oil wells ran out Left no trace of the riches they found Then some big shot from Dallas Built a factory here Gonna put us back on the map But hell, that was back a few years Now the weeds have grown up And the building's fallen down And you'd think they'da figured out by now Hell, it's a tumbleweed town Chorus: Where the lonely wind blows Like it's angry for bein' there A flat piece of stone In the middle of no where The town never grows Cause no body can keep their roots down It's just a tumbleweed town Now for you hay seeds and ranchers That are still hangin in Too old to start over Too damn stubborn to quit The kids all get restless Waitin' on that Greyhound So they can get the hell out Of this tumbleweed town But I love my tumbleweed town
