Riding With The King
Eric Clapton
Intro 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 On a TWA to the promised land Every woman child and man Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring Dont you know we’re riding with the king? Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier Hes 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 Everybody come on and clap your hands And don’t you just love the way that he sings? Dont you know we’re riding with the king? A tuxedo and shiny 335 You can see it in his face the blue never lie Tonight everybody’s getting their angel wings Dont you know we’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 of gold I had a guitar hanging just about waist high I’m gonna play that thing until the day I died
