Retro Lyrics

 

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

Ah but two hours of pushin' 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 clothes 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
