Lyrics

A Dethroned King

[Verse 1]

This is how you know when you can't do right

Think you should have gone for a country life

Good for nothing when you lose your ring

Good for nothing but a dethroned king

[Chorus]

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

[Verse 2]

This is how you know when you lose your light

Think you should have gone for a country life

Good for nothing when you lose your ring

Good for nothing but a dethroned king

[Chorus]

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

[Chorus]

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

A dethroned king

A dethroned king
