It\u2019s been seven years (today) since Warren Zevon<\/a> made his Homegoing.<\/p>\n

How appropriate that DJ Jeff popped up with Springsteen\u2019s rendition of Zevon\u2019s \u201cMy Ride\u2019s Here<\/a>\u201c?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always loved this song. And boy do I miss Mr. Zevon and his beautiful gift of storytelling.<\/p>\n

May he be enjoying the Gloryland to the fullest.<\/p>\n

Bless him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MY RIDE\u2019S HERE<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the late, great Warren Zevon<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was staying at the Marriott<\/span><\/p>\n

With Jesus<\/a> and John Wayne<\/a><\/p>\n

I was waiting for a chariot<\/p>\n

They were waiting for a train<\/p>\n

The sky was full of carrion<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take the mazuma\u201d<\/p>\n

Said Jesus to Marion<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the 3:10 to Yuma<\/a><\/p>\n

My ride\u2019s here\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The Houston<\/a> sky was changeless<\/p>\n

We galloped through bluebonnets<\/p>\n

I was wrestling with an angel<\/p>\n

You were working on a sonnet<\/p>\n

You said, \u201cI believe the seraphim<\/p>\n

Will gather up my pinto<\/p>\n

And carry us away, Jim<\/p>\n

Across the San Jacinto<\/p>\n

My ride\u2019s here\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelley and Keats were out in the street<\/p>\n

And even Lord Byron<\/a> was leaving for Greece<\/p>\n

While back at the Hilton, last but not least<\/p>\n

Milton was holding his sides<\/p>\n

Saying, \u201cYou bravos had better be<\/p>\n

ready to fight<\/p>\n

Or we\u2019ll never get out of East Texas<\/a> tonight<\/p>\n

The trail is long and the river is wide<\/p>\n

And my ride\u2019s here\u201d<\/p>\n

I was staying at the Westin<\/p>\n

I was playing to a draw<\/p>\n

When in walked Charlton Heston<\/a><\/p>\n

With the Tablets of the Law<\/a><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIt\u2019s still the Greatest Story\u201d<\/p>\n

I said, \u201cMan, I\u2019d like to stay<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m bound for glory<\/p>\n

I\u2019m on my way<\/p>\n

My ride\u2019s here\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
