Lyrics

[00:21.98] Trailers for sale or rent
[00:27.13] Rooms to let
[00:28.77] fifty cents.
[00:31.88] No phone, no pool, no pets
[00:36.17] I ain't got no cigarettes
[00:41.20] Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
[00:46.32] Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
[00:51.24] I'm a man of means by no means
[00:57.49] King of the road.
[01:01.39]
[01:02.61] Third boxcar, midnight train
[01:06.70] Destination...bangor, maine.
[01:11.80] Old worn out suit and shoes,
[01:16.91] I don't pay no union dues,
[01:21.02] I smoke old stogies I have found
[01:26.88] Short, but not too big around
[01:31.27] I'm a man of means by no means
[01:37.87] King of the road.
[01:40.71]
[01:41.05] I know every engineer on every train
[01:46.44] All of their children, and all of their names
[01:51.60] And every handout in every town
[01:56.74] And every lock that ain't locked
[01:59.22] When no one's around.
[02:01.96] I sing,
[02:02.79] Trailers for sale or rent
[02:07.16] Rooms to let, fifty cents
[02:12.40] No phone, no pool, no pets
[02:17.31] I ain't got no cigarettes
[02:21.57] Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
[02:26.59] Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
[02:31.82] I'm a man of means by no means
[02:36.32] King of the road (x2)
[02:45.89]
