about

my all time favorite song I've ever written...
My take on the Jesse James Story... the Love story....
I still get goosebumps to this day , every time I hear it....

lyrics

TumbleWeed © 2005 - Cowboy Bob Sawyer

He barely stood 5 ft tall,
Aw, but he was a giant amongst men
The folks all around called him tumbleweed,
Cause of the way he came blowin on the wind

No one was really sure of just where he came from,
but everyone around knew where he belonged
And what his past carried had long been left behind
It was here and now, that he called home

Dusty roads and one night stands, were all he ever knew
Living life one day at a time, with nothing left to lose

The story goes that they met one night,
On his way of just passin’ through
But with a smile and a kiss, in the risin’ moon light,
This ramblin man sprung roots

It wasn’t long before he was a downright outstanding citizen
And she was the envy the girls all around
And soon this fine young man the folks called Tumbleweed
Had this country girl dreaming of silk n’ lace wedding gowns

The life of a rambler, cheater & gambler,
were gone like yesterdays blues
Sent from above, this woman he loved,
God knows she loved him too

Well they got married one evening
in the breath of a soft summer breeze
On the bank of the creek where they first met
All the town folk came out to see these two young lovers
As the full moon rose over a blood red sunset

Now it seemed like years that they lived in joyful wedded bliss
He had all but forgotten about his scarred and troubled past
But when you’re the outlaw with the quickest gun
Dreams of happiness just ain’t meant to last

He’d lay a rose on her pillow each night,
and sing her a simple mans song
Forever & ever is all I can give,
and forever is where we belong

He was hanging his wifes picture on the wall that night,
when the boy outlaw and his brother came busting in
he didn’t bother turning round’ cause he knew it didn’t matter
The dream he’d been living was about to end

She found him on the floor, barely hangin onto dear life
He took her hand and brought it up to his chest
He opened his eyes one last time, and whispered “forever”
And her Tumbleweed finally came to rest
