Verse 1
When he blew into her dustbowl town
She swore he'd never get a rope around her heart
There was a spark
Now and then there were nights on fire
But out beyond that old barbed wire
The wind kept calling him
Chorus
She cried
"Tumbleweed, tumbling, blowing 'cross the desert floor
Whatever you're looking for
You ain't gonna find it on some lonesome road
Tumbleweed, I can be, everything you need and morе
But I can't love what I can't hold"
Verse 2
Bed was still warm wherе 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
Chorus
"Tumbleweed, tumbling, blowing 'cross the desert floor
Whatever you're looking for
You ain't gonna 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"
Bridge
Few weeks later
He came back around
Like he'd never been gone
She'd had one too many nights
Of dealing with all, alone, alone
When she heard his boots on her front porch
She met him at the door
Chorus
And 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
