He said, "I'm going to west Texas" They said, "damn, you've gone crazy" Ain't nothing out there but coyotes and Comanches But he headed out anyway as far as he could Till the heat finally got to their mules He sold whiskey and cigars to passing through would be settlers But nobody wants to settle where there ain't no damn water 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 being there A flat piece of stone in the middle of nowhere The town never grows cause nobody can keep their roots down It's tumbleweed town They came in like gypsies to steal their black gold And the towns population increased hundred fold But they scattered like quail when all the oil wells ran out Left no trace of the riches they'd found Then some big shot from Dallas built a factory here Gonna put us back on the map but damn, that was back a few years Now the weeds have frown up and the buildings falling down And you'd think they'd figured it out by now Damn, its a tumbleweed town [Chorus] Now a few hay seeds and ranchers are still hanging in Too old to start over and too damn stubborn to quit And their kids all get restless waiting on that greyhound So that they can get the hell out of this tumbleweed town But I love my tumbleweed town It's a tumbleweed town
