i m a roaming cowboy riding all day long tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song nights underneath a prairie moon i ride alone and sing a tune see them tumbling down pledging their love to the ground lonely but free i ll be found drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds cares of the past are behind nowhere to go but i ll find just where the trail will wind drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds i know when night has gone that a new world s born at dawn i ll keep rolling along deep in my heart is a song here on the range i belong drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
