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 suits 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, 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
King of the road
King of the road
