King of the Road Lyrics

King Of The Road

Trailers For Sale Or Rent,
Rooms to let - 50 cents,
No phone, No pool, No pets,
I Ain't got no cigarettes, Ah but
Two hours of a pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
Man of means by no means
King Of The Road.


Third box car a midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn-out suits 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.

Well, I know
Every Engineer on every train
And All Of Their Children
And All Of Their Names
And every hang-out in every Town
Every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.

I Say, Trailers For Sale Or Rent,
Rooms to let - 50 cents,
No phone, No pool, No pets,
I Ain't got no cigarettes, Ah But
Two hours of a pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
Man of means by no means
King Of The Road.
