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.
And on a TWA, to the promised land.
Every woman, child and man.
Gets a cadillac and a great big diamond ring.
Dont 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)
We on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody clap your hands.
And Don’t you just love the way he sings?
Don’t you know we're riding with the king?
A tuxedo and shiny 3-35.
You can see it in his face, the blue never lie.
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings.
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
I stepped out of a 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.
