[tab]
From Gladys Ridge I made my way[/tab]
[tab]
Across the valleys, hills and plains[/tab]
[tab]
Across the fields all coloured dun[/tab]
[tab]
Once more to Saskatchewan[/tab]
[tab]
Time to get back to mother land[/tab]
[tab]
Better a good run than a bad stand[/tab]
Chorus:
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again.[/tab]
Northward now I turn my gaze
A ribbon coloured asphalt gray
My mind returned to different days
Distances I d travelled
The miles like an hourglass s sand
Better a good run than a bad stand
Chorus:
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again.[/tab]
Underneath the star-filled skies
We run our course and live our lives
Throw down roots in a spinning ball
Live one life as if that s all
Things might not work out as we had planned
Better a good run than a bad stand
Chorus:
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again.[/tab]
Well, Gladys Ridge, she rises gray
As homeward now I make my way
An icon clothed in prairie scrub
The world a wheel and I its hub
A dormant fire waiting to be fanned
Better a good run than a bad stand
Chorus:
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Oh, I may never leave again,[/tab]
[tab]
Ohhhhhh[/tab]
