Tumbleweed
Music and Lyrics by Susan Ritchie

Verse 1
Just this morning I got word
You’re talking like you’re back for good
I know the desert and I know you better
A Joshua tree runs deep, deep down
Can’t count on rain touching ground
A tumbleweed needs to be untethered

Chorus
Tumbleweed roll, roll, tumbleweed roll
Roll on down the lonesome miles
You rolled right in, got under my skin
Now I got you in my bones
So, I know how a tumbleweed rolls

Verse 2
I have walked a trail of tears
And drowned my sorrows in my beers
This place wants to break you
It’ll fool you into thinking it’s dead
Then you find it lives beneath instead
The soul of a woman knows what’s true

(Chorus)

Bridge
I could ask you 20 questions
And watch you conjure up some lies
But you see an open thumb, and the wide open road
And I see distance in your eyes

Verse 3
So, go on tellin’ your good story
‘Bout the taming of the wild coyote
And all the ways he’s misunderstood
But you’ll tap that shot glass once again
Shout, “One more round” before you catch the wind
Just like I always knew you would

(Chorus)
Outro
Roll, roll, tumbleweed roll, I know how you roll
You rolled right in got under my skin and I’m a pile of broken bones
But I know how a tumbleweed rolls on down the lonesome road
