lyrics

King of The Road
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, 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 an eight by twelve four-bit room
