With a Girl Named River (Proud Mary - Credence Clearwater Revival)

(Because I'm still mad they cancelled it, here's the plot to the pilot episode of Firefly. I could have made some better rhymes by making references to other episodes, but I really wanted to keep it to the pilot.)


Left a good job back on Shadow

Fought 'gainst the Alliance in Serenity

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worryin' 'bout the Earth that used to be


We'll rule over this land,

and we will call it This Land

Fleeing, fleeing, with a girl named River


Stole a lot of crates for Badger

then tried to unload them on Persephone

Badger wouldn't buy them, so we'll go to Whitefall

and sell 'em all to Patience; yes, she once shot me


Dobson stopped our flyin'

With him, we're not complyin'

Opened, that crate, met a girl named River

Opened, that crate, met a girl named River


Almost got caught by some Reavers

after we unloaded Badger's stolen hoard,

then pilot Hoban Washburne pulled a Crazy Ivan

and we escaped with River and Simon on board


You can't take the sky, an'

Serenity's still flyin'

Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River

Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River


Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River

Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River

Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River
