One More Ride

I long for the trip, I don’t need no grip
I’m takin’ one more ride
Way out there in the prairie air
I guess it’s in my hide
Oh, the clickety clack
Of the railroad track is callin’
If a man can know where the Santa Fe goes
When she gets under steam
And the big loud bell that bongs farewell
Could hear her whistle scream
He’s bound to go where
There ain’t no snow a fallin’
One more ride
One more ride
I miss the gloom of the prairie moon
That seemed to know my name
And the tumbleweed where the prairie
Don’t feed, I miss them just the same
They’re all a part of a song
Of heart I’m sayin’
I recall the tune that I sang to the moon
And it seemed to make it smile
And I rode away at the close of the day
And I stayed so long awhile
But I long to be where
The memory is ringing
One more ride
One more ride
As the years go by I wonder why
I longed to leave my home
And to hit the trail of the iron rail
Away out there alone
But my heart would sigh
Till I know that I am leavin’
If I don’t come back on a one way track
Way down through Mexico
You can find me there or any old
Where that a tumbleweed will grow
It’s goodbye now
You’ll never know how I’m grievin’
One more ride
One more ride
One more ride
One more ride
