Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 >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)

Underneath the star-filled skies

We run our course and live our lives

Lay 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)

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)
