One More Ride

I long for the trip that 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
 Could 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 I hit the trail of the iron rail, away out there alone
 But my heart would sigh 'til I know that I am leavin'
 If I don't come back on a oneway track way down from Mexico
 You can 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
