King of the Road Songtext
von Boney M.

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let - 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
Ain′t got no cigarettes, ah but
Two hours of pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
He's a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third box car midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn-out suits and shoes
Don′t pay no union dues.
He smokes old stogies he has found
Short, but not too big around
He's a man of means by no means


King of the road

(He knows) Every engineer on every train
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
Ain′t got no cigarettes.
I've got two hours of pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
He′s a man of means by no means
King of the road.
King of the road.
King of the road.
King of the road.
