my Modern Lit (senior English) teacher liked this a lot. He also never minded when I showed up late every day. He also really enjoyed my redneck impression and called me 'Buck Parker' all year.
lyrics
I was steering a carriage with Kamyar by my side
He was holding an old battery and just enjoying the ride
We were watching the mountains as they slowly rolled by
We had no idea that we were soon to die
We had no idea this was the day that we would die
Skull of a bull in the distance, cacti like cardboard cutouts
Vultures feed on fallen food, sure is hot out here
Kamyar saw some cattle, and the horses saw 'em also
Stampede wandering rather close with not too far to go
I kept my cool and I bid my horses hurry on
They trotted faster to avoid meeting them cows head on
The road it got quite rocky, and the carriage began to shake
Kamyar's nose began to itch, and he sneezed-- a mistake
That battery fell sideways, and it hit me in the hand
The fluid ate through my control, which at my feet did land
The horses didn't know what to do-- their guidance now in shambles
They steered us quickly off the road, and then we all got trampled
