King Of The Road

King Of The Road(Re-Recording) - Johnny Russell

Trailer 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 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

Trailer 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

Trailer 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
