Alannah Myles Tumbleweed Lyrics

Tumbleweed Lyrics

Just a stray little Gypsy boy, 

Trying on the highway for size

A cowboy
kid cracking 105 

Crossing the New Mexico line



I believe we got a
live one here

No inhibitions no fear



Hey you wanna play your
hand

Or are you just playing for the girls in the grandstand

Don't you
wanna roll them bones

Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling stone



Tag
along with my little vagabond

As long as you got something to
burn

We'll slide on over to old Antone's

There's a little game I think
you should learn



There's a big shot of the owner hanging over the
bar

Shaking hands with some rock and roll star



Hey you wanna play
your hand

Or are you just playing for the girls in the grandstand

Don't
you wanna roll them bones

Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling
stone



Well I'm glad I let you find me boy

I been waiting for
you

Won't you be my brand new pride and joy

I've been savin' up all my
good luck until tonight



On a roll he was on top of the world

Till
he laid it all on seven and nine

Lost his shirt and his keys to the
highway

Looks like I'll be driving tonight



Ten to one we'll take
the long way home

We've got ignition, so let's go



Hey you wanna
play your hand

Or are you just playing for the girls in the
grandstand

Don't you wanna roll them bones

Are you a tumbleweed or a
rolling stone
