Tumbleweed Stew Lyrics - Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away - Slaid Cleaves

I work as a hand in San Saba 

Fences and windmills to mend 

I been out on a crew, eating tumbleweed stew 

Three weeks in the rain and the wind 

I got mud on my boots and blood on my money 

And I'm looking to head into town 

But as soon as my truck rounds the corner 

That old deputy is staring me down 

Where can a good man go crazy? 

Where can a cowboy get stoned? 

If I get a wild hair, and go off on a tear 

I'm liable to end up alone 

Nobody wants to run with me now 

But I'm restless down to the bone 

Where can a good man go crazy? 

Where can a cowboy get stoned? 

Old man, are you listening? 

'Cause I'm down here, asking you 

I know you made me this way 

So what do you expect me to do? 

I drove out of town with my paycheck 

Bad snake blood running through my veins 

Hooked up with a truckload of illegals 

And a pocket full of cocaine 

We had us some fun, now I'm on the run 

And I won't be coming back soon 

Just me and some rangy coyotes 

Howlin' up at the cold desert moon 

Where can a good man go crazy? 

Where can a cowboy get stoned? 

Nobody wants me hanging around 

I guess I'll have to go it alone 

I'll have to head down to the border I guess 

And I don't know when I'll be back home 

Where can a good man go crazy? 

Where can a cowboy get stoned? 

And if I don't ever make it back 

You can carve this right on my tombstone 

Where can a good man go crazy? 

Where can a cowboy get stoned?
