King Of The Road Songtext
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 of their 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...

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
