King of the Road Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to-let: fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain′t got no cigarettes
All but two hours at pushing broom
Buys a eight-by-twelve, full bedroom
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
Every handout in every town
And ev'ry lock that ain′t locked when no one′s around

I sing trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to-let: fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
All but two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight-by-twelve, full bedroom
I′m a man of means by no means
King of the road
