Tyin' a Heart to a Tumbleweed

I'll always remember the first time I saw him

Up in the saddle alone

Riding that pony and racin' the wind

Wherever it would blow

Each night I'd pray for one more day

But his soul was wild and free

It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed

So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon

His love will blow my way one day soon

Yes I know I should let him go

But I can't deny the need

It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed

I could fashion some fences that might hold him in

But only for a little while

'Cause that restless spirit keeps following him

And I know he's bound to say goodbye

I dream he'll say that he wants to stay

Then he drifts away from me

It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed

So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon

His love will blow my way one day soon

Yes I know I should let him go

But I can't deny the need

It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed

Tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed

Tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed
