John Hiatt - Riding With The King Lyrics
I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paidBlew it all at the penny arcadeA hundred dollars on a kewpie dollI guess no white chick is gonna make me crawlOn a twa, to the promised landEvery woman, child and manGets a cadillac and a diamond ringDont you know were riding with the king?Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontierHes gonna check us all on out of hereUp to that mansion on a hillWhere you can get your prescription filledOn a twa to the promised landEverybody come on and clap your handsDont you just love the way he singsDont you know were riding with the king?A red cape and shiny cold 45I never saw his face but I saw the lightTonight everybodys getting their angel wingsDont you know were riding with the king?Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years oldWith a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of goldI had a guitar hanging just about waist highIm gonna play that thing until the day I die
