Riding With The King

(Clapton/King Version) 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
