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

Ah but, two hours of pushin' broom buys a

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 the children, all of their names

And every handout in every town

Every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around

I sing...
