One Last Ride Songtext

von Molly Hatchet

Ridin that night and the the moon is high
Gotta hell hound on my trail
Got to cross the rio grande
And never let me out of that jail
Feel the cool desert air... whippin accross my face
Dont make a sound stay close to the ground
Got to leave without a trace

Like my daddy before me...
Said the son of the seventh son
I cant sit still when the night time comes
My spirit always on the run
Ive done wrong everyone I loved
And I live with broken hearts
The hell hounds on my trail

I watched one after another as they died
They took my heart and left me cold inside

Chorus:
Tonight I ride...one last ride
My past is close behind me...my pistol by my side
Gotta keep on ridin...times not on my side
Im a pistol totin gamblin man
Time for one last ride.
Just a simple country boy without a lick of sense
30.6 colt 45 rode a thousand of fence
When you ride with the devil, baby... you heed with the devils call
Cant sing with the angels when the hell youre bound to fall.

Town folks watched as he locked himself inside
The new this torchered man was bound to die
He took the lonliness to his grave
The poor boys soul could not be saved
The boy had finally taken his last ride.

Chorus:
Tonight I ride...one last ride
My past is close behind me...my pistol by my side
Gotta keep on ridin...times not on my side
Im a whiskey drinkin gamblin man
Time for one last ride... so I keep on ride..one last ride
My past is close behind me...my pistol by my side
Gotta keep on ridin...times not on my side
Im a pistol totin gamblin man
Time for one last ride
