If I were a bird
I would fly away and never come back
If I were a train
I would move on down that old track
If I were a river
I'd be rolling up around the next bend
But I'm just a tumbleweed
At the mercy of the wind
If I were a road
I would lead me back to you
If I were a color of the rainbow
I would always be blue
And if I were the past
I would change it
So it'd never have to end
But I'm just a tumbleweed
At the mercy of the wind
(Chorus)
And when it blows
I'm on my way again
Going somewhere
That I've never been
And when it calls me
Like a long lost friend
I'm just a tumbleweed
At the mercy of the wind
If I were a rock
Then I wouldn't be a rolling stone
If I were your shadow
I would never, leave you alone
If I were time
I would stay here 'til that last grain of sand
But I'm just a tumbleweed
At the mercy of the wind
(Repeat Chorus)
And maybe someday
It will blow this way again
But I'm just a tumbleweed
At the mercy of the wind
