《Tumbleweed Town》歌词

[00:00:21] He said

[00:00:22] I'm going to west texas

[00:00:24] They said

[00:00:25] Hell

[00:00:25] You've gone crazy

[00:00:28] Ain't nothing out there but coyotes and comanches

[00:00:34] But he headed out anyway as far as he could

[00:00:39] Till the heat finally got to their mules

[00:00:46] He sold whiskey and cigars to passing through would be settlers

[00:00:52] But nobody wants to settle where there ain't no d**n water

[00:00:58] Then they figured out a windmill could pump it from the ground

[00:01:04] And up sprang a tumbleweed town

[00:01:08] Where the lonely wind blows like it's angry for being there

[00:01:13] A flat piece of stone in the middle of nowhere

[00:01:18] The town never grows 'cause nobody can keep their roots down

[00:01:26] It's a tumbleweed town

[00:01:37] They came in like gypsies to steal their black gold

[00:01:42] And the towns population increased hundred fold

[00:01:48] But they scattered like quail when all the oil wells ran out

[00:01:54] Left no trace of the riches they'd found

[00:01:58] Then some big shot from dallas built a factory here

[00:02:04] Gonna put us back on the map but hell

[00:02:07] That was back a few years

[00:02:10] Now the weeds have grown up and the building's falling down

[00:02:16] And you'd think they'd figured it out by now

[00:02:19] Hell

[00:02:20] It's a tumbleweed town

[00:02:23] Where the lonely wind blows like it's angry for being there

[00:02:33] A flat piece of stone in the middle of nowhere

[00:02:41] The town never grows 'cause nobody can keep their roots down

[00:02:58] It's just a tumbleweed town

[00:03:03] Now a few hay seeds and ranchers are still hanging in

[00:03:09] Too old to start over and too d**n stubborn to quit

[00:03:15] And their kids all get restless waiting on that greyhound

[00:03:20] So that they can get the hell out of this tumbleweed town

[00:03:32] But I love my tumbleweed town

[00:03:42] It's a tumbleweed town
