It's not just your life you've made a wreck   That kind of logic you just reject   You think that straight just ain't your bag   You've no idea of what's a drag   You've traded good things for a needle's sting   You've took to ridin' with the king      She's not a woman, she's just your wife   She's got no reason to want a life   She'll stick beside you until you mend   You selfish bastard, when will it end   You're not a human, you evil thing   Since you've been ridin' with the king      You've took to lyin' and stealin' too   Who knows then next thing that you will do   When you're down and out and on the ground   Your needle buddies just can't be found   You'll hear the devil, you'll hear him sing   As you go ridin' with the king
