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

I guess no pretty chick is gonna make me crawl

Get on a TWA(Trans World Airlines), 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 pill

Get on a TWA(Trans World Airlines) to the promised land

Everybody clap your hands

Don't you just love the way he sings

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

Tuxedo and a shiny three thirty five.

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 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

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