Robben Ford - Riley B. King Lyrics






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

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 B.B. King

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

The stars look down to guide him
Down the miles of road ahead

A silver form of memories
Of his life sincerely

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

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
Riley B. King
Riley B. King
Riley B. King

    Yup, that's Travis; Larry (and Larry's then-wife and Travis' mom, Cyndie) were friends of my family, back when Travis was still wearing diapers.

    Larry and Robben are great fans of each other's work, and in the early days Larry recommended Robben for the session work he turned down; Robben was initially reluctant to accept the gigs, since he didn't read a lick of music at the time and played by ear, being self-taught! He was a quick study though, and obviously it worked out well for him. :)

  10. M.... R....

  11. L.... D....

    He's defintily one of the greatest! Fantastic Idol!

    I don't know the drummer but the guy playing bass is(or,at least,looks very much like)Larry Carlton's son, Travis. I've seen Robben Ford playing in Italy with unkown musicians a few years ago. Still brilliant but, probably, not as much as he was before..Blue Line band was the best for me! Anyway he's still one of my guitar heroes of all time..and that Tele sounds just amazing in his hands..
