Riley B. King (Album Version)

Riley B. King - Robben Ford

He's a king without a castle or crown

And every night he lays his body down

In a different town

One thing stays the same

Everybody knows his name

People may laugh or cry

As his stories are told

To tell the truth like this

A man must be bold

And the people are glad

For the things he shares

Everybody knows he cares

By the light of the moon

Over the ocean

Riley B King

Is the king of the emotions

He's royal blue

Like the deep blue sea

Riley B King

Out of the darkness

And into the light

To fight the peaceful

Warriors fight

Such a beautiful sight

And the way you feel

Watchin' him with Lucille

The heart of a man

Is open wide

And he closes his eyes

And he looks inside

To a love of the world

And a song he might sing

A little something from B B King

By the light of the moon

Over the ocean

Riley B King

Is the king of emotions

He's royal blue

Just Like the deep blue sea

Riley B King

The stars look down to guide him

Down the miles of road ahead

A silver form of memories

Of his life sincerly

He's a king without a castle or crown

And every night he lays his body down

In a different town

But one thing stays

Everybody knows his name

By the light of the moon

Over the ocean

Riley B King

Is the king of emotions

He's royal blue

Like the deep blue sea

Riley B King

Riley B King

Riley B King
