Lyrics
How I long for a trip, don't need no grip
I'm taking one more ride
Way out there in the prairie air
I guess it's in my hide
For the clickity clack of the railroad track is calling
Here's a man that knows where the Santa Fe goes
When she gets under steam
And her big loud bell bids a fond farewell
Hear her whistle scream
She's bound to go where there ain't no snow a falling
One more ride
How I miss the gloom of the pale white moon
That seemed to know my name
And the tumbleweeds where the prairie dog feeds
I miss them just the same
They're all a part of the song in my heart I'm singing
I recall the tune I sang to the moon
It seemed to make him smile
As I rode away at the close of day
And stayed so long awhile
But I long to be with the memory he's bringing
One more ride
As the years roll by I'll wonder why
I longed to leave my home
And hit the trail of the iron rail
Away out there alone
But my heart will sigh till I know that I am leaving
If I don't come back, there's a one way track
Way down in Mexico
You'll find me there or any old where
That a tumbleweed will grow
So it's goodbye now, you'll never know how I'm grieving
One more ride
