Story behind the song
I finally got around to recording this song. My musical friend DrC programmed the drums and played the organ. I played harmonica, guitars, bass and did all the vocals.
Lyrics
Seed Of A Tumbleweed
V1
He was born in Fresno County
In a little place called Huron
His Dad drove a caterpillar
His momma kept the soup on
A few years in that dust bowl
He grew up kind of fast
With a tattoo on his shoulder
Wailin' on a stratocast....er
(Chorus)
Raised beneath a rosebush thorn
A seed of a tumbleweed
Close to the oak, a fallen acorn
The seed of a tumbleweed
V2
He was headed in the wrong direction
But luck had a hard wind blowin' north
He blew into the valley
Where he would stay the course
His years of schoolin' where finished there
That kept the demons at bay
Now and then the wind blew south
But he turned his head away
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Bridge)
He always wanted to do his daddy proud
But felt his momma's scorn
Time has a way of marchin' on
He made it through the storm
(Chorus)
Raised beneath a rosebush thorn
A seed of a tumbleweed
Close to the oak, a fallen acorn
The seed of a tumbleweed
