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 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 bb king
Chorus: 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
solo
the stars look down to guide him down the miles of road ahead
hes filled with all the memories of his life sincerely lived
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
Chorus: 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
