Riding With the King Songtext
von B.B. King

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

Got 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 kind of fill folks)

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 you′re riding with the king? (Yeah, 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 (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 you'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 you′re riding with the king?
Don't you know you′re riding with the king?
You're riding with me, babe, you are in good hands
Don′t you know you're riding with the king? (Yes, yes, you′re riding with the king)
(I wanted to say B.B. King but you know B.B. King)
You're riding, you're riding with the king (yes, you′re riding with the king)
(Yes, you′re, you're riding with the king)

You′re riding, you're riding with the king (you′re riding with the king, I'm a good showover too)
Riding with the king (all you girls come on, you′re riding with me)
Don't you know you're riding with the king? (That′s alright you get morale with me too)
You′re riding with the king (yes, you're riding with the king)
You′re riding with the king (you're riding with the king)
You′re riding with the king
Don't you know you′re riding with the king?
