King Tom Lyrics

King Tom, prodigal son

He's the first to think he's the smartest one

Oh taking out the trash, he's sweepin' the floor

He's got no sense for cents, he's perpetually poor

And his queens, castles, and crowns

Are nowhere to be found

Queens, castles, and crowns

Of a joker and a clown

Queens, castles, and crowns

There nowhere to be found

And Tom's the biggest man in town

He's never gonna bow

King Tom, cloudy day

Lightning's gonna strike if you get in his way

Yeah can't say you're right when he knows you're wrong

I done told ya once he's the smartest one

And King Tom doesn't stop looking for a place he can make a buck

Yeah he puts it in his veins so he can feel its worth

He treats it like blessing while it acts like a curse

He's the ruler of his world

Yeah he's the master of his fate

And the weapon that he wields

Is the tool to dig his grave

Queens, castles, and crowns

Are nowhere to be found

Queens, castles, and crowns

Of a joker and a clown

Queens, castles, and crowns

There nowhere to be found

And Tom's the biggest man in town

He's never gonna bow

Yeah Tom's the biggest man in town

He's never gonna bow

Yeah Tom's the biggest man in town

He's never gonna bow
