Allman Brothers Band, The - One More Ride Lyrics
I'm takin' one more ride'Way out there in the prairie airI guess it's in my hideFor the clickety-clack of the railroad track is callin'If a man that knows where the Santa Fe goesWhen she gets under steamAnd a big loud bell bids a fond farewellTo hear her whistle screamShe's bound to go where there ain't no snow a-fallin'One more rideI will miss the gloom of the pale white moonThat seemed to know my nameAnd the tumbleweeds where the prairie dogs feedI miss them just the sameThey're all a part of the song in my heart I'm singin'I recall a tune that I sang to the moonIt seemed to make him smileAs I rode away at the close of dayAnd stayed so long, awhileBut I long to be where the memory is ringin'One more rideAs the years roll by, I wonder whyI long to leave my homeAnd hit the trail of the iron railAway out there aloneBut my heart will sigh 'til I know that I am leavin'If I don't come back there's a one-way trackWay down in MexicoYou'll find me there or any old whereThat a tumbleweed will growSo it's goodbye now, you'll never know how I'm grievin'One more ride
