One More Ride Lyrics - Stuart Marty

I long for a 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 

For the clickity-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 dog feed 

I miss them just the same 

They're all a part of the song of heart, I'm singin' 

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 day 

And stayed so long in a while 

But I long to be where the memory is ringin' 

One more ride 

One more ride 

As the years go by I wonder why 

I long to leave my home 

And to hit the trail of the iron rail 

Away out there alone 

But my heart will sigh 'til I know that I am leavin' 

If I don't come back on a one-way track 

Way down from Mexico 

You can find me there or any old where 

That tumbleweed will grow 

It's goodbye now, you'll never know I'm grieving 

One more ride 

One more ride 

One more ride 

One more ride
