Hank Snow One More Ride Lyrics

One more ride
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
Oh the clickety clack of the railroad track is callin'
I'm a man that knows where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under steam
And the big loud bell bids a fond farewell you could hear her whistle scream
She's bound to go where there ain't no snow a fallin'
one more ride one more ride,
[ guitar ]
I miss the gloom of the pale light 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 a song of the heart I'm singin' I recall the tune that I sang to the moon, it seemed to make him smile
As I rode away at the close of the day and I stayed so long awhile
But I long to be where the memory is ringin' one more ride, one more ride.
[ guitar ]
As the years go by I'll 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, there's a oneway 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, one more ride
