King of the Road Songtext

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 pushin' broom
Buys an 8 by 12, four bed room, mama
Man of means by no means
King of the road

Third box car 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


I know, every engineer on every train
All of their children and all of their names
And every hand-out in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one′s around

I sing, â#128##156#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 pushin' broom
Buys an 8 by 12, four bed room mama
Man of means by no means
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 pushin' broom
Buys an 8
