From Gladys Ridge I made my way
Across the valleys, hills and plains
Across the fields all coloured 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.
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:
Oh, I may never leave again,
Oh, I may never leave again,
Oh, I may never leave again,
Oh, I may never leave again.
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.
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:
Oh, I may never leave again,
Oh, I may never leave again,
Oh, I may never leave again,
Ohhhhhh
