king of the road

Ray Conniff

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 the 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
