Fatherless rapscallion
Trouble-bound
Mama's at the steel mill
He's taken by the sound

Bullies in the backyard
Plotting his demise
Battles to be fought alone
Innocent surprise

And it was . . .
Lock, stock and barrel
Go, fight, win
Tumbleweed carol
Look what the wind blew in

City kid to farm boy
She became his wife
Worked him like he never worked
Probably saved his life

You don't have to like it
It's what she used to say
Life's no bed of roses
Now she's gone away

And we sing . . .
Lock, stock and barrel
Go, fight, win
Tumbleweed carol
Look what the wind blew in

Some might fool you for a moment
Some might try to tell you no
Sometimes you can push the limit
But when you get it, then you've got it
And there's just no letting go.

Hesitant disciple, unprepared
Salvaged in San Pedro
Rescued in a prayer

Long ago she turned his head
Truth is she still does
Lonesome when she leaves the room
Loves her just because

With her its . . .
Lock, stock and barrel
Go, fight, win
Tumbleweed carol
Look what the wind blew in
