Riding With The King

Lyrics

I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid
 Blew it all at the penny arcade
 A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
 I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl
 That's right
 On a TWA to the promised land
 Every woman, child and man
 Gets a, a Cadillac and a diamond ring
 Don't you know we're riding with the king?
 He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
 He's gonna check us all on out of here, mm
 Up to that mansion on a hill
 Where you can get your prescription filled
 Any kind of pill
 Well, on a TWA to the promised land
 Everybody come on and clap your hands
 Don't you just love the way he sings
 Don't you know we're riding with the king?
 We're riding with the king
 A red cape and a shiny cold 45
 I never saw his face but I saw the light, mm-hm
 Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
 Don't you know we're riding with the king?
 Well, I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
 With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart full of gold
 I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
 And I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die
 
 We're riding with the king
 Don't you know we're riding with the king?
 We're riding with the king
 We're riding with the, hm-mm
 Riding with the king, hm-mm
