[Verse 1]
Hopped a train out of El Paso
I tried to follow, but she stole my keys
I knew I loved to chase tornadoes
The first time that I watched her leave

[Verse 2]
She leaves her boots out by the front door
To let me know she needs a change of scene
Sprays her perfume on my pillow
When she can't keep me company

[Chorus]
If she stays or flies away to Heaven only knows
She can take my heart and keep her wings
I don't say goodbye when it comes time to let her go
I'll catch you down the road, sweet tumbleweed

[Verse 3]
She sent a post card from Durango
A coffee cup from Graceland, Tennessee
She spent a summer in Havana
And came back dancing differently

[Chorus]
If she stays or flies away to Heaven only knows
She can take my heart and keep her wings
I don't say goodbye when it comes time to let her go
I'll catch you down the road, sweet tumbleweed
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

[Chorus]
If she stays or flies away to Heaven only knows
She can take my heart and keep her wings
I don't say goodbye when it comes time to let her go
I'll catch you down the road, sweet tumbleweed
I'll catch you down the road, sweet tumbleweed
