Lyrics:
Emmylou Harris & Pure Prairie League
I know that it's supposed to be all over
And I know that I can take it if that's the way it has to be
But ya'
I long for the trip I 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
trouble in the sky
Comin' closer was a sound that topped the devil's choir
Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire
When all at once a flame
trouble in the sky
Comin' closer was a sound that topped the devil's choir
Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire
When all at once a flame
I long for a trip, I 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
For the clickity-clack
I will long for a 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
For the clickety-clack
and everywhere
But all I could see was a cactus tree
And a prairie dog playing there
I watched the prairie dog feed on the tumbleweed
That's his home way out
Well, I'm weary and tired, I've done my day's riding
Nighttime is rolling my way
The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fading
Peaceful
One more ride I long for the trip I 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
Poppin' up, poppin' down
Burrowing, making their funny little sounds
Guarding the ground and rooting all around
Watch your dry bones in the prairie
Pure Prairie League
I'm almost ready
To let you know just how bad I feel
I'm almost ready
To let you loose and find another heart to steal
My
Last night as I laid on the prairie
And looked at the stars in the sky
I wondered if ever a cowboy
Would drift to that sweet by and by.
Roll along,
a man came along made me hush my song
Kicked me off, way out there
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
A left and everywhere
But all I
A child as pure as a mountain stream that ran through her hometown
Then happened by the slick Tom Shark in his hand she was clay
She got caught and faced
a man came along made me hush my song
Kicked me off, way out there
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
A left and everywhere
But all I
He told a good story
And all us kids listened
'Bout his life on the border
And the way it was then
And we all believed
And when he would
I reckon you all don't know me at all
I just got here today
My home is way down in a little town
It's not so far away
Everybody for miles around
I reckon you all don't know me at all
I just got here today
My home is way down in a little town
It's not so far away
Everybody for miles around
Come listen to my tale 'bout a pretty little girl
That I chanced to meet on the prairie
T'was a night in June by the western moon
That I met my
western prairie
Her message sped fast o'er the way
To the side of a bed where her cowboy
Was grieving his life fast away
Please grant a last wish, boys,
I'm weary and tired, I've done my days ridin'
Nighttime is rollin' my way
The sky's all on fire, the light's slowly fadin
Peaceful and still in
got my bedroll on my back
And everything that I could pack to see me on my way
All is well
I've made my peace and man, I'm feelin' fine
know there's life below me
But all that you can show me
Is the prairie and the sky
I don't want to hear your sad stories
About heartache
know there's life below me
But all that you can show me
Is the prairie and the sky
I don't want to hear your sad stories
About heartache
