King of the Road lyrics

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.
