lyrics

The King
by Ben Mitchell

He made his name by singing love and pain, rock and roll * 2
And they took all of of his possessions
Thank God they could not take his soul

Well, they called him The King
And good Lord could he sing
They called him The King
And good Lord could he sing
He drove 'em wild my God he did
That white boy movin’ like a black man did

He met some pretty ladies, he would give them all the time *2
Oh man he got so busy, oh man he surely did not mind

CHORUS

He was just a country boy
Music was his life's love and joy
He shared more than Cadillacs
And that’s a fact, Jack, Flash Crash, Bing Bang Boom

He made so many movies, you can see him everywhere * 2
It got so even he was thinkin’, “Hey Colonel – who's that guy there?
On the billboard?"

CHORUS

He had a gift
He truly did
Only one name for him
The King
