 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 4x

 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 4x

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

 My ride's here 4x

 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 14x
