King Of The Road Lyrics

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, i ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys a
Eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road

Third boxcar midnight train, destination bangor, maine
Old worn out suit and shoes, i don’t pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies i have found, short but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All the children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain’t locked when no-one’s around
I sing…

Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, i ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys a
Eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road

Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, i ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys a
Eight by twelve four-bit room…
