Tumbleweed’s Dreams On A Ride
(outlaw’s desert town blues)

 
If the sheriff could`a been of any help at all
wouldn’t have stormed in to that shoot-to-kill
say this saloon it really should’ve just called the close
now I dust you right off my old heels.

I’m a mirage a passing old tumbleweed dance
been out there in that desert all lost
been searching been desperate for a real cool well
blue skies turned to a burning red hell

But then when I finally had made it to town
well I found that you my baby were gone
gone out to the saloon for a dinner and champagne
in the arms of some bad-ass ! oh boy !
just some bad-ass old gambling man
was some bad-ass old gambling man

so I’ll  search again desperate for a real cool well
be out here in this desert so long
be a mirage a passing old tumbleweed’s scream
sky blue turn to a burning red hell

Yes now l`ve finally made it right out of this town
had to break some new trails back out here
in a distant dusty haze I see some banshees a`dancing
in their arms some real poor shit oh dear
it’s just you and your bad-ass old gambling man
be just you and your bad-ass old gambling man

Now mind you l`ve made it right out of this town
had to learn my own tricks back you see
in a blazing distant haze those banshees are gone
leave a wide open desert to stride
a wide open desert to  be taken right on
had to dust you all off my old heels

Tell you now I’ve finally made it right out of  this town
let a wide open roll be my friend
had to shoot you n’ dust you all off my old heels
win a wide open desert to stride
let this tumbleweed’s dance be my guide for a while
take some tumbleweed’s dreams on a ride
