Ilse DeLange - Riding with the king

I dreamed I did 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 white chick is gonna make him crawl

On a TWA, to the promised land
Everybody come on clap your hands
Don't you just love the way he sings
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 On a TWA to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
A cadillac or a diamond ring
Don't you know we're riding with the king?

A red cape and his shiny cold 45
I never saw his face but I saw the light
Tonight everybody's getting angel wings
Don't you know we're riding with the king?

Well I was just about ten years old
When I stepped out of that mirror
I had a suit cut sharp
Like a razor and a heart of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
I'm gonna play that thing until I die

We're riding with the king
