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 pushing 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 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 pushing broom

Buys an 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 pushing broom

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
