King of the Road

(Roger Miller)



Trailers for sale or rent

Rooms to let fifty cents

No phone, no pool, no pets

I ain't got no cigarettes.



But two hours of pushing broom

Buys a eight by twelve, four bit room

I'm a man of means by no means

King of the road.



Third bocxcar, 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

And every handout in every town

and every lock that ain't locked when no one's around.

King of the road.
