One Last Ride Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

Ridin that night and the, the moon is high 

Gotta hell hound on my trail 

Got to cross the Rio Grande 

And never let me out of that jail 

Feel the cool desert air whippin' across my face 

Don't make a sound stay close to the ground 

Got to leave without a trace 

Like my daddy before me 

Said the son of the seventh son 

I can't sit still when the night time comes 

My spirit always on the run 

I've done wrong, everyone I loved 

And I's livin' with that pain 

The hell hounds on my trail 

I watched one after another as they died 

They took my heart and left me cold inside 

Tonight I ride, one last ride 

My past is close behind me, my pistol by my side 

Gotta keep on ridin', time's not on my side 

I'm a pistol totin', gamblin' man 

Time for one last ride 

Just a simple country boy without a lick of sense 

30.6 Colt 45 rode a thousand of fence 

When you ride with the devil, baby 

You heed with the devil's call 

Can't sing with the angels 

When the hell you're bound to fall 

Town folks watched as he locked himself inside 

The new, this torchered man was bound to die 

He took the loneliness to his grave 

The poor boy's soul could not be saved 

The boy had finally taken his last ride 

Tonight I ride, one last ride 

My past is close behind me, my pistol by my side 

Gotta keep on ridin', time's not on my side 

I'm a whiskey drinkin', gamblin' man 

Time for one last ride 

So I keep on ride, one last ride 

My past is close behind me, my pistol by my side 

Gotta keep on ridin', time's not on my side 

I'm a pistol totin', gamblin' man 

Time for one last ride
