Lyrics:
It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town
Yeah, the world would swing, oh, if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king
Yeah, I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays
Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to timeIt's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town
Yeah, the world would swing, oh, if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king
Yeah, I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays
Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time

[@a4harts4humanity18]

"Now he belongs to the ages." Lord knows we lost one America's most prolific and brilliant singer-songwriters and real deal performers. I lived in Gainesville FL on the same street as Tom's Dad Norm who kept a beat up old pickup out back that Tom used when he was visiting or playing his hometown. I saw that the truck was gone a few times and wished that I could at least get a glimpse of this amazing, Iconic American Rock Artists. That never happened, however, wishes can come true and with more than you wished for. My older brother is singer/songwriter and attended U.F. Tom Petty surpased the university for bringing Gainesville to life. It was a combination of seeing my bro play clubs like "Mad Monks" and "The Alibi" with beautiful women all around and Petty's popularity that inspired me to become a professional singer, songwriter, performer & Producer. Tom was playing in his hometown once while I was living there in 1994 and we tried very hard to get tickets but couldn't. The night after his big hometown show, I was playing at a little Italian place, I think it was called Nepalitano's. After playing my last song of the night people close to the stage were talking with me and I had to pee like a racehorse. When I finally broke away and headed for the restroom, I past a dark corner where I could just make out shadows from which I heard "sounded really good man." After a quick "thanks" in the mens room I was thinking "I know that voice" but couldn't place it. So on my way back out I took a good look and said thanks again. "You want to join us for a beer," sure I said just as I realized it was Tom Petty. I spent about an hour with him and someone from his road crew talking about music - precious moments I'll never forget. I'm very, very lucky and thankful to have kicked a few back with an idol and major influence on my life and career-~~~~~Peace be with you Tom, thanks for the treasure of brilliant music you've left us and for an hour I'll cherish until I pass - when I hope to kick a few more back with you....

[@catherineleahy21]

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Wow what a great story. You were really fortunate to spend an hour with such a legend. I was lucky enough to see him in concert twice. Once with The Heartbreakers and again on a solo tour. He was great each time. Flawless musicianship and the guy had a down to earth charisma that was just amazing. R.I.P. Tom wherever you are, you are a true legend to us millions of fans.

[@MeowthRocket]

Everyone who I've heard say they met him said, without ANY hesitation, that he was the nicest, the most humble, and the most grounded musician around. I wish I could have met him myself. Tom... when I get up there, I hope we can jam.

I still have this cd. I miss the 90's. Ripped jeans, flannels, grunge music, and of course this awesome album of his. Tape decks were still current. CDs were available but new (early 90s). The internet was in its infancy. No cell phones to stare at. You could browse music shops and video stores. I could probably keep going but I'll stop there. RIP Tom. Thanks for the music memories.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

In this song, Tom shows us a special secret, a special skill that many people have. Check out the singular people in the video; you can call 'em weirdos, but in THEIR minds they're all KINGS. As he says in the song, it's a place in his mind that he goes to. I like a lot of his songs, but this one is special. It's important that I can go to that place, so I can be King, since it seems that Darwin doesn't get to choose, so much, anymore. Watch the end of the video. Fortune passes everywhere.

[@Dahlia10]

So hard to pick a favorite, most all of his songs are so good.🌻♥️

[@acemobile9806]

Bring a serious sound system to truly enjoy this like it should be. A lot of nuances you'll never hear with headphones or Bluetooth speakers. When I listen to this, the whole damn block does too 😁

[@SodiumWage]

Tom Petty was great for a very long time, going all the way back to the 1970's, but unlike a lot of musicians who are good in one era, Tom continually got better every decade. In the 1990's he was huge because instead of him trying to fit into the era, the world finally caught up to him. Man, he is missed.

[@U_ever]

As beautiful as this song is, and as consummate as it is performed, the images in the video and all of those characters is just phucking unbelievable ! Who are they? Where did they come from ? Where are they going ? Whose imaginary galaxy are they permanent residents of ? I wanna go there ! ! !

Every man has an "empty box" in their minds where they like to go from time to time. It's the place of absolute peace and quiet; it's the time when a man's eyes become sort of glazed and they're just absent from the moment and time. No woman has ever understood this and probably never will. I always feel, when listening to this song, that it's exactly what this song is all about. It's good to be king, if just for a while.

For those here who care: Portraying several different cultures illustrates the idea of Cycles. Portraying people wearing old clothings and costumes in old decors, objects and antiques also illustrates the idea of Cycles. Things change. The world is revolving. Nothing is permanent. This video is about the United States of America "being King for a while". And ultimately falls down to decay and ruins and fades away. As all things do. And it ends on a silent God Bless America.

[@xxjswxx]

I was at the rock n roll hall of fame last week. They have an awesome Tom Petty display there. He had both sides of a hallway and was one of the larger displays I saw that day. It was moving to see his hand written lyrics to several songs including my favorite, this one! They also had a flannel shirt and pair of jeans that he wore on the cover of the Rolling Stone. Rest In Peace, Tom.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers the King of kings is coming soon, to take all that is his and leave all else to be burnt. Whatever stands thru the fire of God will stand forever and forever. Jesus is the only way to stand that fire. All those who've refused to believe in him and live according to the direction/instruction/leading of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ are about to pay up on a debt that no man could pay off. You ppl have no idea what is about to come!!! Those in Christ take no thought of it. We know we're outta here 1st!!! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!! ('bout 2 weeks or so)

I was doing the "jam by the campfire" thing (>200 attendees), and I played this song. The response was like NOTHING I've seen in my professional career. Sometimes the shovel IS the spade. Tom Petty was a songwriter...

Хорошие слова, хорошая музыка, хороший человек. Человек ушел - вечная память, мир и покой. Но творчество его, слова и музыка, остались с нами. Спасибо за то что жил и дарил нам свой талант.

[@deewatson1329]

What a kind post of a beautiful man thank you

[@samsmart9176]

When my son was 15 , I figured it was time to take him to his first concert- he wanted to see guns & rosés or rage against the machine ----Tom Petty was my choice and what a show - h inspires me as a musician and my son thanked me for picking Tom and a new fan was born - it’s good to be king

[@williamavila1966]

I LOVE Tom's voice! I have heard his voice since I was 5! I am 45 today and I would love to hear his voice forever and ever! Tom has that voice that just calms your spirit! RIP to the Greatest Legend of All Time!!! I love you Tom!!!

[@steverye8872]

You know i like Tom Petty like anyone else, but it seems like he could never decide if he wanted to be Bob Dylan or Lou Reed. This is one of the best songs of its time.

[@sabresbest]

He topped them both and was one of a kind.

[@wendycarroll4814]

The song is just another example of seamless perfection

[@balerjohnson3099]

[@foghornleghorn262]

Christ being the ultimate King. Petty had it right.

[@shaltree]

[@peggyoneill9933]

That's the problem everybody thinks they're a king! You're not there's only one king his name is Jesus forever praise God

[@Nonna7384]

And suddenly this generation knows how the world felt when Elvis died. They never knew him but they knew they loved him. 🎶It's good to be king🎶

[@7CIouds.]

If the last 30-45 seconds of this song doesn't cause you to get completely lost in thought then I feel sorry for you

[@berserker3617]

Brilliant apocalyptic video from the Master, Tom Petty.

[@truthurtzjc]

Videos in the 90s we're odd but they took u places..... Places u can't explain but of good notion. Love u Sir Tom Petty.

[@mobilemodular5725]

First cassette I ever owned. Greatest hits. Wore that suckered out. Know every song by heart. And sing my lungs out when nobody is watching hah. His legacy will forever live on. RIP Petty. You made my childhood a little better and millions of others.
