King of the Road
(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 box car 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
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when
No one's around.

[repeat till the day is done]
