Riding With The King Lyrics - John Hiatt

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

Blew it all at the penny arcade 

A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll 

I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl 

That's right 

On a TWA to the promised land 

Every woman, child and man 

Gets a Cadillac and a diamond ring 

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 

Any kind of pill

On a TWA to the promised land 

Everybody come on and clap your hands 

Don't you just love the way he sings 

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

We're riding with the king 

A red cape and shiny cold .45 

I never saw his face but I saw the light 

Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings 

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

Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old 

With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart full of gold 

I had a guitar hanging just about waist high 

I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die

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

We're riding with the king 

We're riding with the, hmmmm 

Riding with the king
