King Of The Road Songtext
von Adam Harvey

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let for 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain′t got no cigarettes
Oh, but two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an 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 suit and worn-out 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
And all the good 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 for 50 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
King of the road
