John Hiatt Riding With the King song lyrics

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

That's right

On a TWA to the promised land

Every woman, child and man

Gets a Cadillac and a diamond ring

Don't you know we'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 pill

On a TWA to the promised land

Everybody come on and clap your hands

Don't you just love the way he sings

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

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

Don't 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 full of gold

I had a guitar hanging just about waist high

I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die

We're riding with the king

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

We're riding with the king

We're riding with the, hmmmm

Riding with the king
