Warren Zevon Zevon Music BMI. We left Constantinople in a thousand ninety-nine. To restore the one True Cross was in this heart of mine. To bring it to Jerusalem and then sail home to Rhodes. We took that holy ride ourselves to know. We took that holy ride ourselves to know. Everyone got famous everyone got rich. Everyone went off the rails and ended in the ditch. But we had to take that long hard road to see where it would go. We took that holy ride ourselves to know. We took that holy ride ourselves to know. Now if you make a pilgrimage I hope you find your grail. Be loyal to the ones you leave with even if you fail. Be chivalrous to strangers you meet along the road. As you take that holy ride yourselves to know. You take that holy ride yourselves to know.
