Johnny Cash - One More Ride lyrics

I long for the trip 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 could know where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under steam And the big loud bell that bongs farewell to 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 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 from Mexico You could find me there or any old where that a tumbleweed will grow It's a goodbye now you'll never know how I'm grievin' One more ride One more ride
