King Of The Road
By: Roger Miller
Trailers for sale or rent - Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets - I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but 2 hours of pushin broom - Buys an 8 by 12 - 4 bit room
I'm a man of means by no means - King of the road


Third boxcar midnight train - Destination Bangor Main
Old worn out suit and shoes - Don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stoogies 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 their children and all of their names
Every handout in every town - Every lock that ain't locked
When no ones around I sing

Chorus

King of the Road
King of the Road
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
