Riding with the king

Lyrics

I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid I blew it all at the penny arcade A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll I guess no white chick is gonna make him crawl On a TWA, to the promised land Everybody come on clap your hands Don't you just love the way he sings 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 Up to that mansion on a hill Where you can get your prescription filled On a TWA to the promised land Every woman, child and man A cadillac or a diamond ring Don't you know we're riding with the king? A red cape and his shiny cold 45 I never saw his face but I saw the light Tonight everybody's getting angel wings Don't you know we're riding with the king? Well I was just about ten years old When I stepped out of that mirror I had a suit cut sharp Like a razor and a heart of gold I had a guitar hanging just about waist high I'm gonna play that thing until I die We're riding with the king
