Lyrics 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

She'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 oneway track way down in Mexico
You can find me there or any old where that a tumbleweed will grow

So it's goodbye now
You'll never know how
I'm grievin'
One more ride one more ride
