One More Ride

Lyrics

[Verse 1] How 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' There's a man can know where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under steam And the big loud bell there's a fond farewell, hear her whistle scream She's bound to go where there ain't no snow a fallin' One more ride [Yodeling] [Verse 2] I'll miss the gloom of the pale white moon that seemed to know my name And the tumbleweeds where the prairie don't feed, I miss them just the same They're all a part of a song in my heart I'm singin' I recall the tune that I sang to the moon, it seemed to make him smile And I rode away at the close of day and I stayed so long awhile But I long to be where the memory is ringin' One more ride [Yodeling] [Verse 3] As the years go by I wonder why I longed to leave my home And 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, there's a one way track way down in Mexico You'll 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 [Yodeling]
