King Of The Road

King Of The Road
John Turner & Randy Travis
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain’t got no cigarettes

Oh, but two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four bedroom
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
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
Oh, but two hours of pushing broom
Eight by twelve four bedroom
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
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
Oh, but two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four bedroom
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
Oh, but two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four bedroom
I’m a man of means by no means
