>Fro^Dm Gladys Ridge I made my way Acro^Gss the valleys, h^Aills and plains Acro^Dss the fields all coloured dun ^GOnce more to Saska^Atchewan ^BmTime to get b^Aack to mother la^Gnd ^BmBetter a good r^Aun than a bad sta^Gnd ^A

Chorus:

^DOh, I may n^Gever leave aga^Ain, ^DOh, I may n^Gever leave agai^An, ^DOh, I may ne^Gver leave aga^Ain, ^DOh, I may n^Gever leave aga^Ain.

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)
