Tumbleweed Queens

{plaintive acoustic guitar

fingerpicking} {soft pedal steel volume swells} (hummmmm) I'm

just a cowboy poet

Writing these songs under a Lone Star sky

While you reign as a queen in Dunbrock Castle

Where the Scottish fjords run deep and high {subtle upright bass entry}

In the lawless frontier of Austin Texas

In a small dusty town called Tumbleweed

Two worlds apart, but our spirits restless

Bound by the poetry we both need {guitars swell,

fiddle enters} Living

in the southern wind

Of this hard and lawless frontier ground

Dreaming of your stone-carved halls

While the desert dust rolls through this town {soft fingerstyle solo transitions}

In the lawless frontier of Austin Texas

In a small dusty town called Tumbleweed

Two worlds apart, but our spirits restless

Bound by the poetry we both need (ooh-ooh) {climax

with swelling strings}

Just a poet, just a queen

Across the oceans, in between (ahhhh)

{instruments slowly fade, leaving

only a lone guitar}
