RIDING WITH THE KING

I dreamt I had a good job And I got well paid I blew it all at the penny arcade I earned the dollars On the Cupid doll No pretty chic is gonna make me crawl We're on a TWA to the promised land Every woman, child and man It's a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring Don't you know you're ridin' with the King He's on a mission of mercy on a new frontier He's gonna check us all out of here Up to that mansion on the hill Where you can get your booze, strips and pills (Any kind of pills, folks Ha Ha Ha Ha) We're on a TWA to the promised land (Everybody) Everybody clap your hands (clap your hands) Don't you girls love the way that he sings Don't you know you're ridin' with the King Ridin' with the King Don't you know you're ridin' with the King ...steel and a shining blue... (that's me) You can see it in his face The brute and the lies Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings Don't you know you're ridin' with the King (I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old) (With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a hot tomato road) (I had a guitar hanging just about waist high) (And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die) Don't you know we're ridin' with the King Don't you know we're ridin' with the King (You're riding with me Eric) (You're in good hands you're ridin' with the blues) Don't you know you're ridin' with the King (Yes yes you're ridin' with the King) (I wanted to say B.B. King but you know king) You're ridin' you're ridin' with the King (Yes You're ridin' with the King) (Yes You're ridin' with the King) You're ridin' you're ridin' with the King Ridin' with the King Ridin' with the King Ridin' with the King Ridin' with the King
