Biografia:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

those pesky bar chords)
INTRO: D G A (3x) D G

From Gladys Ridge I made my way
G A
Across the valleys, hills and plains
D
Across the fields all coloured dun
G A
Once more to Saskatchewan
Bm A G
Time to get back to mother land
Bm A G A
Better a good run than a bad stand
Chorus:
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A D G A D G A
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:
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A D G A D G A
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:
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A D G A D G A D G A D G
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:
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D G A
Oh, I may never leave again,
D
Ohhhhhh
