Riding With The King In Association with Amazon.com

Riding With The King

Performed by Eric Clapton and BB King

From the album "Riding With The King"

 

 

I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid

I blew it all on the penny arcade

A hundred dollars on a cupid doll

No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl

 

And on the 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 and mercy to the new frontier

He's gonna take us all out of here

Up to that mansion on a hill

Where you can get you prescription filled (any kind of pill folks)

 

And on the TWA to the promised land

(Everybody)Everybody clap your hands(clap your hands)

And don't you go for the way that it seems

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

 

Tough steel and a shiny big twenty five (that's me)

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

 

Spoken verse:

"I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old

with a suit cut as sharp as a razor and a heart 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

Don't you know you're riding with the king

 

You're riding - You're riding with the king

You're riding - You're riding with the king
