One More Ride was changed from lyrics about a gun-fighter (old west) to a song that describes the whirlwind romance between my wife and I during the process of recording this CD. Lyrics were still being changed during the final lead vocal recordings.

One More Ride Music: Kevin Mattingly 1991 / Lyrics: Betsy & Kevin Mattingly 1999 I strung my first guitar back in sixty five When a string picking boy barely kept it alive Keep strumming tunes to be done And humming words to be sung I’m making One More Ride To bring a bride to my side While I’m still in my prime It’d be a real smooth act To write a song that’s inspired By the one that I love You know she’s taken me higher I’m taking One More Ride I’m praying for a friend by my side Well it’ll be alright I wrote a song your love’s history made me so bold It’s not a deep seething mystery Your love just took hold A piece that held through fire Made your true love’s desire Baby I’m your buyer I know you’ve taken me higher I’m singing One More Ride To bring a bride to my side While I’m still in my prime And it’ll be alright I’ve got an ad in the paper says this song is on fire I’ve got a one on the wait I’ve got a one on the wire Well it’s a real heart breaker Made me cry no faking Sing a three verse tune about a love that’s forsaken Making One More Ride Cause I need a bride by my side I know it’d be alright To write a song that might I strung my first guitar back in sixty five When a string picking boy barely kept it alive Keep hearing tunes to be sung I’m writing words on the run I’m making One more ride To bring my bride by my side And it'ill be tonight
