lyrics

Come on take it in, come on shake it off
How could you forget we’re cut from the same old cloth?

But it’s done, you gave it your best
Just give me the crown, and I’ll handle the rest

I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
Of Queen City

They started to dress too different from you
You say they still bow, but they no longer stand with you

And they won’t go answer the call
‘Cause the roads are a mess and the buildings are getting too tall


I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
Of Queen City

Now all of Church Street’s wondering why you had to buy into the lies
You know that rock and roll’s still here, it’s just a little bit harder to find

It’s anywhere you say or want
It’s anywhere you feel the need
It’s somewhere in Vermont
And it’ll be there when you leave

The cape that you wear is now to keep warm
Your jester is sad but ready to ride out the storm

While he says you’ll come crawling back
“Spring’s almost here!”
That’s the hardest he’s made you laugh

But this prince you’re leaving behind
You’re breaking his heart, but telling him he’s gonna find
That the roots you planted with him
Are still gonna grow ‘til it’s time for his work to begin


I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king now
Of Queen City
