A Tumbleweed Like Me
I was born in a distant land
My friends don't seem to understand
My full name
Can twist a tongue sometimes
I left Texas years ago
Called Illinois my second home
Until the day
I had to say goodbye
There's nowhere I fit just right
But even then, I still I try
I do my best to pass the test
I put on my disguise
I change the words I use
And change the language when it's right
But even on my best days
I can't seem to crack the code
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Now I ride this train wistfully
Chicago still has part of me
I don't think
I'll ever get it back (I'm never getting it back)
Well, maybe this was meant to be
The way I float high in the breeze
I'm so lost
But somehow still on track
'Cause there's nowhere I feel just right
But even then, I still I try
I do my best to pass the test
I put on my disguise
I change the words I use
And change the language when it's right
But even on my best days
I can't seem to crack the code
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Ba-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da, da-da-da (come on now)
Ba-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da, da-da-da
Maybe I've got what I've been looking for
Maybe it don't matter where I was born
Maybe in some way I finally belong
Where I get to sing my song
'Cause I was born in a distant land
My friends don't seem to understand
My full name
Can twist a tongue sometimes
But I do my best to pass the test
I put on my disguise
I change the words I use
And change the language when it's right
But even on my best days
I can't seem to crack the code
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
My friends don't seem to understand
My full name
Can twist a tongue sometimes
I left Texas years ago
Called Illinois my second home
Until the day
I had to say goodbye
There's nowhere I fit just right
But even then, I still I try
I do my best to pass the test
I put on my disguise
I change the words I use
And change the language when it's right
But even on my best days
I can't seem to crack the code
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Now I ride this train wistfully
Chicago still has part of me

Ba-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da

Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
Guess a tumbleweed like me is never home
