Riding With the King
I dreamed I get a good job and I got well paid
And I blew it all at the penny arcade
On a hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
I guess no Romeo is gonna make me crawl
That's right
Ride that peace train now to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
It's a free gift, there ain't no strings
Don't you know we're riding with the King?
He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
He's gonna take us all on out of here
Up to the mansion on a hill
Where you can get your spirit filled
Say you will
Ride that peace train now to the promised land
Everybody, come on, clap your hands
Make me want to holler, holler and sing
Don't you know we're riding with the King?
We're riding with the King
We're riding with the King, yeah
A love letter and an eastern star by night
When I saw His face I saw light
Tonight, everybody getting their angel wings
Don't you know we're riding with the King?
We're riding with the King
We're riding with the King
Blessed are the meek
They will inherit the earth
And blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God
And blessed are you
When people revile you
And they persecute you
And say all manner of wicked things
About you all the time
You just keep your head up, darlin'
You just keep your head up, darlin'
You just keep your head up, now
Hey, we're riding with the King
Oh, yes, oh, yeah
We're riding with the, riding with the…
We're riding with the King
We're riding with the King
We're riding with the King
