Riding With The King
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 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 SongtexteWhere you can get your prescription filled On a TWA to the promised land Everybody come on and clap your hands Dont you just love the way he sings Dont you know 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 Dont 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 of gold I had a guitar hanging just about waist high I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die Aus Songtexte Mania
