Cash Johnny One More Ride Lyrics

One More Ride Lyrics

Lyrics and music by Johnny Cash

 

  

 

  

 

 I long for a trip, I don't need no grip,

 

 I'm takin' one more ride

 

 'Way out there in the prarie air

 

  

 

 I guess it's in my hide

 

 Oh, the clickety clack of the railroad track is callin'

 

 If a man could know where the Santa Fe goes

 

 when she gets under steam

 

 and the big round bell that bongs farewell

 

  

 

 Could hear her whistle scream

 

 He's bound to go where there ain't no snow a-fallin'

 

 One more ride, one more ride

 

  

 

  

 

 I miss the gloom of the prarie moon

 

 that seemed to know my name

 

 and the tumbleweed where the prarie dog feed,

 

 I miss them just the same

 

 They're all a part of my song at heart I'm singin'

 

 I recall a tune that I sang to the moon

 

 and it seemed to make it smile

 

 And I rode away at the close of day

 

 and I stayed so long, awhile

 

 But I long to be where the memory is ringin'

 

 One more ride, one more ride

 

  

 

  

 

 As the years go by, I wonder why

 

 I long to leave my home

 

 And I hit the trail of the iron rail

 

 away out there alone

 

 But my heart just sighed 'till I know that I am leavin'

 

 If I don't come back on a one-way track

 

 way down from Mexico

 

 You can find me there or any old where

 

 that a tumbleweed will grow

 

 It's goodbye now, you'll never know how I'm grievin'

 

 One more ride, one more ride
