Solomon had a barracuda
He rolled it three times at the bottom of the hill
He sold me all the good parts
For a lonely one hundred dollar bill

Him and Indian walked away
A haphazard miracle
He tells me all his visions
Displayed on a speeding pill pedestal

Solomon's ride

Solomon wore a robe once
No shoes on his feet, carried only a bowl and spoon
Walked with his friend, Lightening
Down from a Colorado sun to a Guatemalan moon

And he's been to Vietnam
And he's fried way too much back in '69
He says he's a mathematical genius
He's a long haired biker for God, friend of mine

Solomon's ride

He says he's just a cowboy
But he don't eat no meat
How can you live with the slaughter
And be shocked with the shuffle in the street?

Solomon fell in love by letter
A brain surgeon he never met out in the Ukraine
Gave it all up here and went out to go get her
Last time I saw him he was making a run for the plane

Solomon's ride
