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,
And I teetered the way to the promised land,
Every woman, child and man,
Get your caddilac 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 fronteir,
He`s gonna take us all outta` here,
Up to that mansion, on a hill,
Where you can get your prescription pill
And I teetered the way to the promised land,
Everybody clap your hands,
And don`t you dirts love the way that he sings?
Don`t you know 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 shining green burning five,
You can see it in his face, the blues is alive,
Tonight everybody`s getting their angel wings,
Don`t you know you`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.
Don`t you know you`re riding with the king?
Don`t you know you`re riding with the king?
(You`re riding with me baby)
(You got good hands)
(Yes, you`re riding with the king)
(I wanted to say B.B. King, but you know who the king is)
