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 pushing broom
Buys an eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the Road
A D E
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
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 pushing broom
Buys an eight by twelve four bit room
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 hand-out in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
when no one's around, I sing
