Tumbleweed, you're living a cowboy's dream Tumbleweed, freedom is the air you breathe But if you don't stop long enough To let yourself fall in love Tumbleweed, you're gonna end up lonely You've been riding the range all alone for so long No one can hold you, the wind is too strong I'd tell you I love you and ask you to stay But you're already drifting away Tumbleweed, you're living a cowboy's dream Tumbleweed, freedom is the air you breathe But if you don't stop long enough To let yourself fall in love Tumbleweed, you're gonna end up lonely You won't be broken, you won't be tied down You drift with the wind barely touching the ground But late at night out there under the stars There's an empty place in your arms Tumbleweed, you're living a cowboy's dream Tumbleweed, freedom is the air you breathe But if you don't stop long enough To let yourself fall in love Tumbleweed, you're gonna end up lonely Tumbleweed you're gonna end up lonely Tumbleweed
