	Story Behind the Song Hank Williams Sr. motivated this song. I truly was at his grave site and experienced what became the words of the third verse! It became clear to me that I was not done writing, singing, and performing country music....In fact, I had only just begun! Lyrics One More Ride Lyrics by Doug Adkins Music by Doug Adkins / Gerd Vogel Heard my mamma crying as we drove out of Nashville We were going back to Alabam I knew my mamma's dreams had been shattered We were leaving the Tennessee promised land You see my mamma had it in her to be a great country singer I watched those dreams get pushed aside Right there and then, that's when I made my decision I'd give it one more ride You gotta get on your feet, pull up your boots Remember where you come from, go back to your roots You gotta pick up your hat, reach deep inside, get back on that horse And give it....one more ride I remember quite a few years back now I stopped off at a Cheyenne Rodeo There was a rider in the program named Chris Ledoux Some of you all might know Well I remember that Cowboy he hit the ground so hard For sure thought it broke his pride Well he just got up, tipped his hat to the crowd and said Let's give it one more ride You gotta get on your feet, pull up your boots Remember where you come from, go back to your roots You gotta pick up your hat, reach deep inside, get back on that horse And give it....one more ride Well I gave up playing music last year in Montgomery So I went down to see my old friend And as I stood there drinking in the moonlight I felt his spirit move in Now I'm not saying that I really talked to Hank But I swear I looked in those hollow eyes I heard him say, "son, don't you know what how many here would give," To give it one more ride You gotta get on your feet, pull up your boots Remember where you come from, go back to your roots You gotta pick up your hat, reach deep inside, get back on that horse And give it....one more ride Come on, Let's ride.... You gotta get on your feet, pull up your boots Remember where you come from, go back to your roots You gotta pick up your hat, reach deep inside, get back on that horse And give it....one more ride
