Tumbleweed Town

I blew in from Boulder
On the prairie wind
A bonafide drifter
Till the bitter end
Too far, gone to change
I thought of all the miles
Behind and up ahead
Looked for a place
That I could lay my head
‘Neath the stars, out on the range

In this tumbleweed town
Tumbleweed town
Searching for a sign
Of the man I hoped to be
Now the dreams I didn’t find
Are another casualty
In this tumbleweed town

Trouble might have found me
In a place or two
When I was getting hungry
And needed work to do
Sometimes- I’ve crossed the line
Little by little
I’ve learned what I’ve lost
The corners I’ve cut
Came with a cost
Now I’m- out of time

In this tumbleweed town
Tumbleweed town
Searching for a sign
Of the man I hoped to be
Now the dreams I didn’t find
Are another casualty
In this tumbleweed town

All of my ambitions
Flash before my eyes
Wasting time and wishing
Here where hope comes to die

In this tumbleweed town
Tumbleweed town
Searching for a sign
Of the man I hoped to be
Now the dreams I didn’t find
Are another casualty
In this tumbleweed town
