"Tumbleweed Men" lyrics
Tumbleweed men
Always look better when they show up again
Still, you wonder where the tan on their skin is from
Where they've been so long, as you usher them in
You're stumbling back
You miss the easy way he could make you laugh
Still, his stories are the only thing he packed
When the wind blew him back to Tennessee
You know you shouldn't love him
'Cause he swore he'd never stay
Some girl's gonna love rhinestones anyway
They can't help it
Hanging their heart on words he'll never say
You can't help them
Tumbleweed men
Tumbleweed men
Flit around in conversations with friends
You keep it short to not remind them of when
You said never again
But they all know that you never got untangled up with him
They know you love him
And say, "Damn, ain't that a shame"
Oh, no
Some girl's gonna love rhinestones anyway
They can't help it
Hanging their heart on words he'll never say
You can't help them
Tumbleweed men
Tumbleweed men
Keep showing up till they never do again
And years from now you'll hear the screen door slam
And wonder if it's him
But it'll only be the wind
Always look better when they show up again
Still, you wonder where the tan on their skin is from
Where they've been so long, as you usher them in
You're stumbling back
You miss the easy way he could make you laugh
Still, his stories are the only thing he packed
When the wind blew him back to Tennessee
You know you shouldn't love him
'Cause he swore he'd never stay
Some girl's gonna love rhinestones anyway
They can't help it
Hanging their heart on words he'll never say
You can't help them
Tumbleweed men
Tumbleweed men
Flit around in conversations with friends
You keep it short to not remind them of when
You said never again
But they all know that you never got untangled up with him
They know you love him
And say, "Damn, ain't that a shame"
Oh, no
Some girl's gonna love rhinestones anyway
They can't help it
Hanging their heart on words he'll never say
You can't help them
Tumbleweed men
Tumbleweed men
Keep showing up till they never do again
And years from now you'll hear the screen door slam
And wonder if it's him
But it'll only be the wind
