I blew it all at the penny arcade, <br />
A hundred dollars on a cupid doll, <br />
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl, <br />
<br />
And I teetered the way to the promised land, <br />
Every woman, child and man, <br />
Get your caddilac and a great big diamond ring, <br />
Don't you know you're riding with the king? <br />
<br />
He's on a mission of mercy, to the new fronteir, <br />
He's gonna take us all outta' here, <br />
Up to that mansion, on a hill, <br />
Where you can get your prescription pill <br />
<br />
And I teetered the way to the promised land, <br />
Everybody clap your hands, <br />
And don't you dirts love the way that he sings? <br />
Don't you know you're riding with the king? <br />
You're riding with the king! <br />
Don't you know you're riding with the king? <br />
<br />
A tuxedo and a shining green burning five, <br />
You can see it in his face, the blues is alive, <br />
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings, <br />
Don't you know you're riding with the king? <br />
<br />
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old, <br />
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold. <br />
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high, <br />
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die. <br />
Don't you know you're riding with the king? <br />
Don't you know you're riding with the king? <br />
(You're riding with me baby) <br />
(You got good hands) <br />
(Yes, you're riding with the king) <br />
(I wanted to say B.B. King, but you know who the king is)
