One Last Ride Lyrics by Molly Hatchet

One Last Ride Lyrics

    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
    Don't 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 can't sit still when the night time comes
    My spirit always on the run
    I've 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'...time's not on my side
    I'm 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 devil's call
    Can't sing with the angels when the hell you're 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 boy's 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'...time's not on my side
    I'm 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'...time's not on my side
    I'm a pistol totin' gamblin' man
    Time for one last ride.
