Jeff Black - King Of The World lyrics

rate me

King Of The World

high on a hill

the valley below me

the blue sky above me

my dream was so real

I could not hear

the hum of the highway

or the drums of the foundry

pounding out steel

I didn't need no money

I didn't need no time

I didn't need nothing

but my own piece of mind

and to know that

a voice like a whisper

is bound to be heard

for just one moment

I'm the king of the world

for just one moment

I'm the king of the world

so I close my eyes

I let the power defeat me

because the real world can't free me

from this dirty old town

where the four winds blow

I send my troubles rolling

since the world just kept turning

I let it go round

see I took it all in

like time takes forever

in a dream that you never

believed would come true

then I gave it away

I just had to surrender

man I just can't remember

when I felt so good
