King Of The Road

King Of The Road - Val Doonigan

Trailer for sale or rent

Rooms to let fifty cents

No phone no pool no pets

Ain't got no cigarettes

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 of the children but all of their names

Every handout in every town

Every lock that ain't locked

When no one's around

They sing trailers for sale or rent

Rooms to let fifty cents

No phone no pool no pets

I ain't got no cigarettes

About two hours of pushin' broom

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room

I'm a man of means by no means

King of the road
