Am

the Mississippi and out on the open plains

In an Oklahoma cow town

Thumbing through some magazine
Em

Now tumbleweed remembers how the

The homestead act and the dust bowl,

Back when Indian territory was

Oklahoma's name

E 
F 
Oh tumbleweed keep rollin',
C 
he just roams from town to town

Tumbleweed keep rollin',
C 
he can't find no place to rest
D 
Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed
Em 
like some spirit of the west

the loc al bar and grill

When he starts to picking that old guitar

you know the people turn and stare

He can raise you hopes to be

the very best that you can be
