One More Ride

                                                                P.M.-------------------|

Verse 1

  A
I long for a trip, I don't need no grip,
I'm takin' one more ride
 D
'Way out there in the prarie air
I guess it's in my hide
        A                                       E7
Oh, the clickety clack of the railroad track is callin'
     A
If a man could know where the Santa Fe goes
when she gets under steam
        D
and the big round bell that bongs farewell
Could hear her whistle scream
     A                       E7               A
He's bound to go where there ain't no snow a-fallin'
     E7   A     D   E7   A
One more ride, one more ride

Verse 2

A
I miss the gloom of the prarie moon
that seemed to know my name
D
and the tumbleweed where the prarie dog feed,
I miss them just the same
          A                                 E7
They're all a part of my song at heart I'm singin'
     A
I recall a tune that I sang to the moon
and it seemed to make it smile
       D
And I rode away at the close of day
and I stayed so long, awhile
     A                      E7          A
But I long to be where the memory is ringin'
     E7    A    D    E7   A
One more ride, one more ride

Verse 3

A
As the years go by, I wonder why
I long to leave my home
       D
And I hit the trail of the iron rail
away out there alone
         A                                        E7
But my heart just sighed 'till I know that I am leavin'
      A
If I don't come back on a one-way track
way down from Mexico
          D
You can find me there or any old where
that a tumbleweed will grow
       A                        E7              A
It's goodbye now, you'll never know how I'm grievin'
      E7   A     D   E7   A
One more ride, one more ride
