My Ride's Here
I was staying at the Marriott
With Jesus and John Wayne
I was waiting for a chariot
They were waiting for a train
The sky was full of carrion
"I'll take the mazuma"
Said Jesus to Marion
"That's the 3:10 to Yuma
My ride's here..."
The Houston sky was changeless
We galloped through bluebonnets
I was wrestling with an angel
You were working on a sonnet
You said, "I believe the seraphim
Will gather up my pinto
And carry us away, Jim
Across the San Jacinto
My ride's here..."
Shelley and Keats were out in the street
And even Lord Byron was leaving for Greece
While back at the Hilton, last but not least
Milton was holding his sides
Saying, "You bravos had better be
ready to fight
Or we'll never get out of East Texas tonight
The trail is long and the river is wide
And my ride's here"
I was staying at the Westin
I was playing to a draw
When in walked Charlton Heston
With the Tablets of the Law
He said, "It's still the Greatest Story"
I said, "Man, I'd like to stay
But I'm bound for glory
I'm on my way
My ride's here..."
Meu Transporte Chegou
Eu estava hospedado no Marriott
Com Jesus e John Wayne
Eu estava esperando uma carruagem
Eles estavam esperando um trem
O céu estava cheio de carniça
"Eu vou pegar a grana"
Disse Jesus para Marion
"Esse é o 3:10 para Yuma
Meu transporte chegou..."
O céu de Houston não mudava
Nós galopamos por bluebonnets
Eu estava lutando com um anjo
Você estava escrevendo um soneto
Você disse: "Acredito que os serafins
Vão pegar meu pinto
E nos levar embora, Jim
Através do San Jacinto
Meu transporte chegou..."
Shelley e Keats estavam na rua
E até Lord Byron estava indo pra Grécia
Enquanto de volta ao Hilton, por último mas não menos importante
Milton estava segurando as costelas
Dizendo: "Vocês bravos é melhor estarem
prontos pra brigar
Ou nunca vamos sair do Leste do Texas essa noite
A trilha é longa e o rio é largo
E meu transporte chegou"
Eu estava hospedado no Westin
Estava jogando pra empatar
Quando entrou Charlton Heston
Com as Tábuas da Lei
Ele disse: "Ainda é a Maior História"
Eu disse: "Cara, eu gostaria de ficar
Mas estou a caminho da glória
Estou indo
Meu transporte chegou..."
