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 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
Chorus: By the light of the moon Comes a flood of emotion Riley B. King Be the king of the ocean He's royal blue Like the deep blue sea Riley B. King
Out of the darkness And into the light To fight the peaceful Warrior's fight Such a beautiful sight And the way you feel Watchin' him with Lucille
The heart of the man Is open wide And he closes his eyes And looks inside To a love of the world Through the song he sings Giving it everything
