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 Kewpie doll
No pretty chick is going to make me crawl

Get 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 riding with the king?
He´s on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
He´s going to check us all on out of here
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled

Get on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody, everybody clap your hands
And don´t you doubt, love, the way that he sings
Don´t you know you´re riding with the king?
Riding with the king
Don´t you know you´re riding with the king?

A tuxedo and a shiny 335
You can see it in his face, the blues never lie

Tonight everybody´s getting their angel wings
And don´t 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 made of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I´m going to play this thing until the day I die

Don´t you know we´re riding with the king?
Don´t you know we´re riding with the king?
Riding, you´re riding with the king
You´re riding, you´re riding with the king
