Lyrics Johnny Cash – One More Ride

I long for the trip 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’
If a man could know where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under steam

I miss the gloom of the prairie moon that seemed to know my name
And the tumbleweed where the prairie don’t feed I miss them just the same
They’re all a part of a song of heart I’m sayin’
I recall the 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 ringing
One more ride
One more ride

As the years go by I 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 on a oneway track way down from Mexico
You could find me there or any old where that a tumbleweed will grow
It’s a goodbye now you’ll never know how I’m grievin’
One more ride
One more ride
