Shadows grow, night falls
The wind blows, the wind calls
Feel so restless having trouble sleeping
I lie in bed and I stare at the ceiling
Feel the grass growing under my feet
Time to blow down the road a piece
Just like a tumbleweed
The night is thick, too thick to see
Feel it’s hold, feel it’s heat
Moonlight flicker as the fan serenades us
Turning round to the sound of cicadas
Feel my heart pounding under the sheets
I don’t know if I can’t stand the heat
Oh, won't you roll with me
Cause I'm a tumbleweed
Feel the wheel going round and round
Make my move, a giant leap
Time to make another all night creep
The first step, a giant leap
Jump out of the fire and into the heat
Feet creaking on the hardwood floor
Grab my things and I head for the door
Pull on my T shirt and step in my jeans
Destination any sight unseen
Oh, won't you roll with me
Cause I'm a tumbleweed
Feel the wheel going round and round
Oh, won't you roll with me
Cause I'm a tumbleweed
