King of the Road歌詞

作詞 : Roger Miller
作曲 : Roger Miller
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes but
Two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight
Eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man
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
They are short
Short but not too big around
I'm a man
Man of means by no means
King of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
Fresh out of cigarettes but
Two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight
Eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man
Man of means by no means
King of the road
King of the road
King of the road
