Lyrics Alannah Myles

Alannah Myles

Tumbleweed

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
