King Of The Road Lyrics - Del Reeves

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 an 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 their 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 an 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 

Buys an eight by twelve four bit room 

I'm a man of means by no means 

King of the road
