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 cupid doll
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl
Get on a TWA to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Get your 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 gonna take us all outta here
Up to that mansion on the hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
Any kind of pill, folks, ha-ha-ha-ha
Get on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody, everybody clap your hands, clap your hands
And don't you just love the way that it feels
Don't you know we're riding with the king
Yeah, you're riding with the king
You're riding with the king
Don't you know you're riding with the king
A tuxedo and a shiny 335 (that's me)
You can see it in his face, the blues is alive
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 gonna play this thing until the day I die
But don't you know we're riding with the king
Don't you know you're riding with the king
You're riding with me, baby
You're in good hands, you're riding with me
Don't you know we're riding with the king
Yes, yes, you're riding with the king
I wanted to say B.B. King, but you know the King
Riding, you're riding with the king
Yes, you're riding with the king
Yes, you are, you're riding with the king
You're riding, you're riding with the king
You're riding with the king, I'm a good chauffeur too
Riding with the king
All you girls, come on, you're riding with me
Don't you know you're riding with the king
That's alright Eric, you can ride with me too, if you feel like it
Riding with the king
Yes, you're riding with the king
You're riding, you're riding with the king
You're riding with the king
Riding with the king, I'm a good chauffeur
Don't you know you're riding with the king
