King of the Road Songtext
von Randy Travis

Trailer 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 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 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 their children, and all of their names
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 pushin′ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
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
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 pushin' 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
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

King of the road
King of the road
