[verse 1] I would like you to consider a different point of view There are things about me that are just not true Firstly I am a Russian Thistle if you must know Though Tumbleweed works for movies or a TV show I may be dried up but I have my pride I seemed to be used like some kids pony ride I am forever covered in desert sand Apparently I have absolutely no place to land [Chorus] The wind blows and yes we weeds do roll But it was not a plan, like your evening stroll Where I stop, I don't really know I even travel across ice and snow Well I am tired from being so busy Frankly all this rolling is making me dizzy [verse 2] I am comic relief in a movie scene Never saw a gunfight were I haven't bean You will find me in every ghost town around I am easily squashed, just put your hand down Horses pay no mind, especially when rushed Hoof comes down, and I am crushed [Chorus] The wind blows and yes we weeds do roll But it was not a plan, like your evening stroll Where I stop, I don't really know I even travel across ice and snow Well I am tired from being so busy Frankly all this rolling is making me dizzy [bridge] I have come to really hate the wind I have done nothing, not sworn nor sinned Used as a metaphor for dramatic tension Not in the credits or even honorable mention If I could, I would just stay rooted in the ground Am I to blame because there is no water around [chorus] The wind blows and yes we weeds do roll But it was not a plan, like your evening stroll Where I stop, I don't really know I even travel across ice and snow Well I am tired from being so busy Frankly all this rolling is making me dizzy [outro] Well that Bob Nolan from North of the border Simply had things out of order If he wrote the song Cool Water first The tumbleweed would not die of thirst Ok, I can hear you singing it So go right ahead "Drifting along with the tumbling …"
