Charley Pride - One Mile More video free download

Charley Pride sings One Mile More.

I wonder how far will 14 bucks take you, these days?

I like when he says: "I'll wait by the track for a slow movin' freight and watch for an open door". Hard to find boxcars at all these days, let alone with open doors. And it just ain't the same jumping on a container train, or a tanker or on one of those autoracks; what you're gonna do?

Boxcars with open doors... 25 years ago I never would've thought they'd become extinct, one day.

"Old beat up suitcase on the platform

A train ticket in my hand

And a train just arrivin' that'll take me as far

As fourteen dollars can

But a train won't take me far enough

It never has before

I gotta find how far a memory reaches

And then go one mile more

I ain't never found a mountain that was high enough

Or a hole too dark and deep

'Cause if I lose her memory in a bottle of wine

Then she'll find me in my sleep

I think of me and that old suitcase

The places we both been

All the rails and jails and the cheap hotels

And now we're gone again

And when I'll ride my money up

And they won't let me ride no more

Then I'll wait by the track for a slow movin' freight

And watch for an open door

I ain't never found a mountain that was high enough

Or a hole too dark and deep

'Cause if I lose her memory in a bottle of wine

Then she'll find me in my sleep

Then she'll find me in my sleep

Then she'll find me in my sleep"
