I go from city to city, coast to coast
Highways and byways Lord, I'm healin' to post
I got to roll just like a tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a tumbleweed
I got everything I own in a brown paper sack
Keep it stashed by the railroad track
I got to roll just like a tumbleweed, baby
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a tumbleweed
Baby, I'm a drifter, I'm a vagabond
I'm-a here one minute, next I'm gone
I don't need no family, can't afford no wife
I wasn't made for domestic life
Well, you talk to your mama, your mama tell you true
She knows better what's good for you
I got to roll just like a tumbleweed, baby
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a tumbleweed (yeah, yeah)

Oh, baby, I'm a drifter, I'm a vagabond
I'm-a here one minute, next I'm gone
I don't need no family, can't afford no wife
I wasn't made for domestic life
Won't you stop all your cryin', pack your things
Save it for the man with the diamond rings
I've gotta roll, oh baby, like a tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a tumbleweed, baby
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a tumbleweed, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahh, ahh yeah
May be like a tumbleweed
