2000-2023
A1 I’m a mirage – a passing old tumbleweed’s 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
B1 But then when I finally – had made it to town
look I found that – my baby was gone
lured down to the saloon for – some dinner and champagne
on the arms of some big shot – oh damn !
big shot n’fancy old gambling man – and
she’s sweet company for him and his gang
CH If the sheriff hadn’t sneered just – and showed me the door
I wouldn’t with a shoot-out – have closed then that deal
your saloon it should better – have been shut long before
now I dust it – right off my old heels
A2 I’m searching again now – for a real cool well
I’m out here in this desert – some more
I’m a mirage – a passing old tumbleweed’s scream
under a sky turned to a – burning red hell
B2 Alas I feel lucky – made it out of that town
had to break me new trails – to run free
in a distant dusty haze I see – some banshees a’ dancing
in their claws some real poor shits – oh hell !
your gambling man it is – and his whole rotten gang
safe you – I’d made sure to aim well
B3 I’m so glad to have made it – right out of that town
had to learn my own tricks back – to hide
in that blazing distant haze – those banshees are gone
leave a wide open desert to stride
a wide open desert to – be taken right on
no boundaries left that – would rein in my ride
B4 Tell you now that I’ve made it – right out of that town
let a wide open roll be my friend
had to shoot them n’ dust them – all off my old heels
gain a wide open desert to stride
a wide open desert to – be taken right on
no boundaries left that – would rein in my ride
CH + let some tumbleweed’s dance be – my guide for a while
I’ll take this tumbleweed’s dreams on a ride
