Lyrics

I woke up from a dream took a walk down the stairs
That's when I saw him standing there
I swore I heard you down here singing
Next thing you know I was talking to the King

I was talking to the King in the promised land
He said he just flew in for a one night stand
All dressed in leather, guitar in his hand
I was talking to the King in the promised land

There are so many questions that I'd like to ask
He said go ahead and started to laugh
I lost a few pounds and quit dyeing my hair
I'm keeping clean there ain't no pills up there
But one thing I miss is a place to sing in
I grabbed my guitar and started jamming with the King

I was jamming with the King in the promised land
He said he just flew in for a one night stand
All dressed in leather, guitar in his hand
I was talking to the King in the promised land

You better be careful or you'll lose everything
It ain't no fun being a king
You make me mad when you start to complain
You should be glad nobody knows your name
You got two lovely kids and a wife at home
And I died alone on my throne
Sometimes I think I sold my soul
To become the King of rock and roll!

I was talking to the king in the promised land
He said he just flew in for a one night stand
All dressed in leather, guitar in his hand
I was talking to the King in the promised land
