Um, from what I understand this and "My Shit's Fucked Up" were both written after he found out he was dying.
"My Ride's Here" refers to the last ride, the one that takes us to the other side. There's no warning, no big production, just the fact that it happens to all of us.
There's a notion of acceptance and a certain submissive attitude that goes along with this tune. Accepting death isn't all that hard when you look at it with the somber romance in this song.
@kinghorse neither "My Ride's Here" nor my "Shit's Fucked Up" were written after Zevon found out he was dying. Zevon himself said so although he did feel there was some sort of connection artist have for these sorts of "premonitions" if you will - although he did not know or understand what they could be.
