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 that pain

Seven lovers 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.
