Trailers for sale or rent,
rooms to let fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets,
^FILL^
I ain't got no cigarettes,
Ah but, two hours of pushin' broom,
buys a, eight by ten four 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,
^FILL^
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,
^FILL^
And every lock that ain't locked when no ones around,
-QUIET NOW
I sing, trailers for sale or rent,
rooms to let fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets,
^FILL^
I ain't got no cigarettes,
Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom,
buys a eight by ten four bit room,
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road,
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road.
