One More Ride — текст песни (Hank Snow)

One more ride

I will long for a 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
For the clickety-clack of the railroad track is callin`
If a man that knows where the Santa Fe goes
When she gets under steam
And a big loud bell bids a fond farewell
To hear her whistle scream
She`s bound to go where there ain`t no snow a-fallin`
One more ride

I will miss the gloom of the pale white moon
That seemed to know my name
And the tumbleweeds where the prairie dogs feed
I miss them just the same
They`re all a part of the song in my heart I`m singin`
I recall a tune that I sang to the moon
It seemed to make him smile
As I rode away at the close of day
And stayed so long, awhile
But I long to be where the memory is ringin`
One more ride

As the years roll by, I wonder why
I long to leave my home
And 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 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
