King Of The Road
Lyrics
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 an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road
full lyrics...
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 an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road

I sing, "Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
I smoke old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, 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
Songwriter: Roger Miller
Every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination, Bangor, Maine
Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
I know every engineer on every train
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road"
"Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
All their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
