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 suits 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

Chorus
   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 ain’t locked
   When no one’s around, I sing

Repeat first verse

King of the road
