Roo Arcus - Tumbleweed

When he blew into her dustbowl town
She swore he'd never get a rope around her heart
But there was a spark
Now and then there were nights on fire
But out beyond that old barbed wire the wind
Kept calling him

And she cried

Tumbleweed, tumbling, blow cross the desert floor
Whatever you're looking for
You ain't going to find it on some lonesome road
Tumbleweed, I can be
Everything you need and more
But I can't love what I can't hold

The bed was still warm where he'd been sleeping
When she heard the screen door squeaking shut
And his old truck
And even though she knows the deal
She can't help the way she feels inside
So, she cries

Tumbleweed, tumbling, blowing cross the desert floor
Whatever you're looking for
You ain't going to find it on some lonesome road
Tumbleweed, I can be
Everything you need and more
But I can't love what I can't hold

A few weeks later he came back around
Like he'd never been gone
She'd had one too many nights dealing with all alone, alone
When she heard his boots on her front porch
She met him at the door

She cried

Tumbleweed, tumbling, blowing cross the desert floor
Whatever you're looking for
Well I hope you find it on some lonesome road
Tumbleweed, I can be
Everything you need and more
But I can't love what I can't hold

No, I can't love what I can't hold
