Verse 1.
I used to drive a diesel
Rolling through the snow
Speeding down the back roads
My foot pressed to the floor
Then I hit an icy curve on a lonely Kansas road
And I woke up facing upside down
Surrounded by my load
CHORUS
So, I sold that truck and moved to Dallas
And bought this old guitar
And I became King of The Whiskey Palaces
Now, somehow, sister, I'm a bona fide country star
REFRAIN
Give me a five or give me a ten
And get ready to ride when the beat kicks in
Thanks to my old semi,
I'm the King of Paradise
Hey, hey, hey, hey --- Ooo-Ooo
Verse 2.
I took my turns singing open mics
And laying down the country blues
While I was dreaming of my big break
I worked & paid my dues
Along the way I met some folks
Who wanted to lend a hand
Now we're ready to rock, loaded & locked
World-class country band
CHORUS
'Cause, I rolled my truck and moved to Dallas
And I plugged in my guitar
And I became King of The Whiskey Palaces
Somehow, mister, I'm a bona fide country star
REFRAIN
Give me a five or give me a ten
And you'll be jumping and jiving with all your friends
Thanks to my old semi
I'm the King of Paradise
BRIDGE
Now, all those country kings and queens
Are wrapped around the block
To get inside and party at
My honky-tonk Camelot
I knew Life was telling me something
This I understand
Life's too short to live a life
Without giving your dreams a hand
CHORUS
Yeah, I rolled my truck and moved to Dallas
And I plugged in my guitar
And I became King of The Whiskey Palaces
Now, some how, honey, I'm a bona fide country star
REFRAIN
Gimme a twenty or gimme a thirty
And this ole band will get down and dirty
Thanks to my old semi
I'm King of Paradise
Gimme a forty, gimme a fifty
And I'll keep pouring the music and whiskey
Thanks to my old semi
I'm the King of Para-King-of-Para-King of Paradise
Hey, hey, hey, hey --- Ooo-Ooo
Hey, hey, hey, hey --- Ooo-Ooo
Hey, hey, hey, hey --- Ooo-Ooo
