I dreamt I had a good job
And I got well paid
I blew it all at the penny arcade


A hundred dollars
On the Cupid doll

No pretty chic is gonna make me crawl

We're 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 ridin' with King


He's on a mission of mercy on a new frontier
He's gonna check us all out of here

Up to the mansion on the hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
Any kind of pills, folks


We're on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody clap your hands

Don't you girls love the way that it seems
Don't you know you're ridin' with King
Ridin' with the King

Don't you know you're ridin' with King

Tuxedo and a shiny three thirty five

(that's me)
You can see it in his face
The blues is his life

Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
Don't you know you're ridin' with 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 gonna play this thing until the day I die

Don't you know we're ridin' with King

Don't you know we're ridin' with King
You're ridin' with me Eric, you're in good hands
You're ridin' with the blues

Don't you know you're ridin' with King
Yes yes you're ridin' with the King
I wanted to say B.B. King but you know King

Don't you know you're ridin' with King
Yes you're ridin' with King
