From this dirty old town
With the four winds blow
I didn't need nothing
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
So I close my eyes
I let it go round
The hum of the highway
But my own piece of mind
I could not hear
I let the power defeat me
And since the world just kept turnin'
Or the drums of the foundry
But my own piece of mind
And you know that
But my own piece of mind
And you know that
A voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
I didn't need no time
And you know that
I didn't need nothing
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
A voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
I didn't need nothing
Because the real world can't free me
I didn't need no money
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
I didn't need no money
I didn't need no time
The blue sky above me
I sent my troubles rollin'
I didn't need no time
Where the four winds blow
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
A voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
I let it go round
I didn't need no money
My dream was so real
I sent my troubles rollin'
Pounding out steel
Since the world just kept turnin'
