King of the Road ( 1964 song written and originally recorded by country singer Roger Miller)
Trailers for sale or rent Rooms to let...fifty cents. No phone, no pool, no pets I aint got no cigarettes Ah, but..two hours of pushin broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room Im 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 dont pay no union dues, I smoke old stogies I have found Short, but not too big around Im 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 handout in every town And every lock that aint locked When no ones around.
I sing, Trailers for sale or rent Rooms to let, fifty cents No phone, no pool, no pets I aint got no cigarettes Ah, but, two hours of pushin broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room Im a man of means by no means King of the road.
