Eric Clapton, B.B. King - Riding with the King lyrics

[Eric Clapton, B.B. King - Riding with the King lyrics]

I dreamed I had a good job
And I got well paid
I blew it all at the penny arcade
A hundred dollars on a Kewpie doll
No pretty chick is going to make me crawl

Get on a TWA to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
He's on a mission of mercy
To the new frontier
He's going to check us all on out of here
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled

Get on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody, everybody clap your hands
And don't you doubt, love
The way that he sings
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
Riding with the king
Don't you know you're riding with the king?

A tuxedo and a shiny 335
You can see it in his face
The blues never lie
Tonight everybody's getting their
Angel wings and don't you know we're
Riding with the king?

I stepped out of Mississippi when
I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor
And a heart made of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm going to play this thing
Until the day I die

Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Riding, you're riding with the king
You're riding, you're riding with the king
