When I pick up this guitar and sing... I am king.

lyrics

Walkin by the river
My head is filled up with dreams
I see pictures of myself
In the water flowin down stream
Sometimes I got money
Sometimes I don’t
I do what I want to
Who’s gonna stop me if I won’t

CHORUS:
But now I got no throne and no queen
I’m livin alone deep inside my dream
But when I pick up this guitar and sing
I am king

You say you don’t know me
But you’ll cry when I’m gone
You’ll never forget me
That’s why they call me the seventh son

Remember how I worshipped you
with all my attention
Till you screamed in the night
‘You are my only salvation’.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
and I
go where I wanna go
do what I wanna do
I’m lookin’ at you

I would flash you all my charms
Take you in my arms
taking all of you

Yes I would, If I get in the mood, baby, Yes I would

BRIDGE
But now I just watch the colors
Of the leaves fallin’ down
Nobody seems to know me
In this upstate New York town
I got no place
in your world anymore
I’m looking right at you
But I’m thinkin’ about the door

CHORUS
