Lyrics
L.A.'s asleep - you roll up your window The night air is cold - the freeway is clear In a green Gucci bag - are your prized possessions The jewels of your mind - to hold back the fear And when Monday comes round - there's a high lonesome sound And she follows you down for the kill And a white blinding light - makes it all seem so right And you feel like the king of the hill The driveway is long - your princess so lovely Your servants all wait - for your knock on the door How many years - will you crawl through this castle So satisfied - and still wanting more And when Monday comes round - there's a high lonesome sound And she follows you down for the kill And a white blinding light - makes it all seem so right And you feel like the king of the hill Solo The guests have arrived - with all the right faces But you miss the ball - in that room down the hall It's sunrise again - the driveway is empty The crystal is cracked - there's blood on the wall And when Monday comes round - there's a high lonesome sound And she follows you down for the kill And a while blinding light - makes it all seem so right And you feel like the king of the hill And when Monday comes round - there's a high lonesome sound And she follows you down for the kill And a white blinding light - makes it all seem so right And you feel like the king of the hill And you feel like the king of the hill Yes you feel like the king of the hill

Beautiful Dale. I always say you have a great voice, a very nice timber to it. And I always enjoy your first class guitar work.

The rickenbacker sounds so good in my headphones! And so does your soary voice too in this fine backer. Cool story behind the guitar - McGuinn from the Byrds which also delivered music to the movie Easy Rider.(My brother has his music) Very fine cover my friend!

I didn't listen to the original song, so I'm not able to compare it with your version, Dale. This is pleasant soft and melodic rock in my opinion, the song sounds quite organic...

Great back story Dale. ...and a beautiful looking and great sounding guitar for sure. Fine job on this tune. The guitar tone made it authentic and your vocals drove it home. Real well done, like all the tunes you post Dale. Enjoyed the listen!

Ah yes, the "Rickey" sounds fine as does your vocals and the whole track. Great mix too. Nice work!

Sadly, a lot of really great songs were never recognized in world charts... This seems to be one of them - I've never heard the original, but you certainly have brought your cover version to life Dale :) Great production!!

Brilliant cover! Nailed the original sound and vibe...amazingly close! I prefer your vocals, they have more character. Excellent stuff.
