Tumbleweed Lyrics - Rockinghorse - Alannah Myles

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
