King Of The Road Lyrics By Roger Miller

    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 a eight by twelve fourbit 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 and all of their names
    every handout in every town
    every lock that ain’t locked when no one’s around

    i sing 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 pushing broom
    buys an eight by twelve fourbit 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 pushing broom
    buys an eight by twelve fourbit room
