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
