Gladys Ridge

[Verse 1]
From Gladys Ridge I made my away
Across the valleys, hills and plains
Across the fields all colored dun
Once more to Saskatchewan
Time to get back to mother land
Better a good run than a bad stand

[Chorus]
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again

[Verse 2]
Northward then I turn my gaze
A ribbon colored asphalt grey
My mind returned to different days
Distances I'd traveled
Thе miles like an hourglass's sand
Bettеr a good run than a bad stand

[Chorus]
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again

[Verse 3]
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]
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again

[Verse 4]
Well Gladys Ridge she rises grey
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]
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh I may never leave again
Oh
