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 gonna 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 gonna check us all on out of here

Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
Any kinda pills, bro, ha, ha, ha


Get on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody, everybody clap your hands, clap your hands

And don't you just love the way that he sings
Don't you know we're ridin' with the king
Yeah, we're ridin' with the king, ridin' with the king

Don't you know we're ridin' with the king

A tuxedo and shiny 335, that's me

You can see it in his face, the blue 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 gonna 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


You're ridin' with me
You're in good hands
You're ridin' with youth


Don't you know, we're riding with the king


Yes, yes, you're ridin' with the king
I wanted to say, B. B. King, but you know the king
Yes, you're ridin' with the king


Ridin', you're ridin' with the king
Yes, you are, you're ridin' with the king


You're ridin', you're ridin' with the king


You're ridin' with the king
I have a good chauffeur, too


You're ridin', you're ridin' with the king

All you girls, come on, you're ridin' with me


You're ridin', you're ridin'' with the king


That's all right now, you can ride with me, too, if you feel like it

You're ridin', you're ridin' with the king


Yes, you're ridin' with the king
