I'm a roaming cowboy, riding all day long 
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song 
Nights underneath the prairie moon 
I ride along and sing this 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
