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
