Roger Miller
King of the Road
[Verse 1]
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
Every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked, when no one's around
I sing
[Verse 4]
Trailers for salе or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phonе, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
[Outro]
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
