  G#
I long for a trip, I don't need no grip,
I'm takin' one more ride
 C#
'Way out there in the prarie air
I guess it's in my hide
         G#                                      D#7
Oh, the clickety clack of the railroad track is callin'
     G#
If a man could know where the Santa Fe goes
when she gets under steam
        C#
and the big round bell that bongs farewell
Could hear her whistle scream
      G#                                     D#7 G#
He's bound to go where there ain't no snow a fallin'
G#   D#7  G#   C#   D#7  G#
One more ride, one more ride

I miss the gloom of the prairie moon
that seemed to know my name
And the tumbleweed where the prairie dog
feed I miss them just the same
They're all a part of a song of heart I'm saying
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

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 leaving
If I don't come back on a one way
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 grieving
