Marty Stuart - One More Ride lyrics

Written by B. Nolan 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 pale white 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 in 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
