Riding With The King Lyrics - Singles - B.b. King

(Clapton/King Version) 

I dreamt I had a good job 

And I got well paid 

I blew it all at the penny arcade 

A hundred dollars 

On the Cupid doll 

No pretty chic is gonna make me crawl 

We're on a 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 ridin' with King 

He's on a mission of mercy on a new frontier 

He's gonna check us all out of here 

Up to the mansion on the hill 

Where you can get your prescription filled 

Any kind of pills, folks

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

We're on a TWA to the promised land 

Everybody clap your hands 

Don't you girls love the way that it seems 

Don't you know you're ridin' with King 

Ridin' with the King 

Don't you know you're ridin' with King 

Tuxedo and a shiny three thirty five 

(that's me) 

You can see it in his face 

The blues is his life 

Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings 

Don't you know you're ridin' with 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 we're ridin' with King 

Don't you know we're ridin' with King 

You're ridin' with me Eric, you're in good hands 

You're ridin' with the blues 

Don't you know you're ridin' with King 

Yes yes you're ridin' with the King 

I wanted to say B.B. King but you know King 

Don't you know you're ridin' with King 

Yes you're ridin' with King
