One More Ride

Cash Johnny

     A
1. 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
   Oh, the clickety clack
   of the railroad track
      E7
   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
   He's bound to go
               E7
   where there ain't no snow
     A
   a-fallin'

       E7   A     D   E7   A
   One more ride, one more ride

2. 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

3. 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
