Roger Miller King Of The Road Lyrics

Songwriters: KRISTOFFERSON, KRISTOFFER

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 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 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
I sing 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 pushing broom 
Buys a eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means 
King of the road

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 pushing broom
