One Last Ride Lyrics

Ridin that night and the the moon is high
Got a hell hound on my trail
Got to cross the Rio Grande
And never let me out of that jail
Feel the cool desert air... go whippin' accross my face
Don't make a sound, stay close to the ground
Got to leave without a trace

Like my daddy before me...
Said the son of the seventh son
I can't sit still when the night time comes
My spirit's always on the run
I've done wrong everyone I loved
And I'm living with that pain
Seven lovers with broken hearts
The hell hound's on my trail

I watched one after another as they died
They took my heart and left me cold inside

Chorus:
Tonight I ride... one last ride
My past is close behind me... my pistol's by my side
Gotta keep on ridin'... time's not on my side
I'm a pistol totin' gamblin' man
Time for one last ride.
Just a simple country boy, without a lick of sense 30.6 colt 45 rode a thousand miles of fence
When you're riding with the devil, baby... you heed the devil's call
Can't sing with the angels when to hell you're bound to fall.

Town folk watched and locked themselves inside
They knew this tortured man was bound to die
He took the lonliness to his grave
The poor boy's soul could not be saved
The boy had finally taken his last ride.

Chorus:
Tonight I ride... one last ride
My past is close behind me... my pistol's by my side
Gotta keep on ridin'... time's not on my side
I'm a whiskey drinkin' gamblin' man
Time for one last ride... so I keep on riding... one last ride
My past is close behind me... my pistol's by my side
Gotta keep on ridin'... time's not on my side
I'm a pistol totin' gamblin' man
Time for one last ride.
