Warren Zevon - My Ride's Here Lyrics
I was staying at the MarriottWith Jesus and John WayneI was waiting for a chariotThey were waiting for a trainThe sky was full of carrion"I'll take the mazuma"Said Jesus to Marion"That's the 3:10 to YumaMy ride's here..."The Houston sky was changelessWe galloped through bluebonnetsI was wrestling with an angelYou were working on a sonnetYou said, "I believe the seraphimWill gather up my pintoAnd carry us away, JimAcross the San JacintoMy ride's here..."Shelley and Keats were out in the streetAnd even Lord Byron was leaving for GreeceWhile back at the Hilton, last but not leastMilton was holding his sidesSaying, "You bravos had better beready to fightOr we'll never get out of East Texas tonightThe trail is long and the river is wideAnd my ride's here"I was staying at the WestinI was playing to a drawWhen in walked Charlton HestonWith the Tablets of the LawHe said, "It's still the Greatest Story"I said, "Man, I'd like to stayBut I'm bound for gloryI'm on my wayMy ride's here..."
