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 [bad word] like this 
man must be bold 
And the people are glad 
For the things he shares 
Everybody knows he cares 
 [bad word]  
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
little something from bb king
 [bad word]  
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 
 [bad word]  
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
