[ti:King Of The Road]
[ar:Johnny Russell]
[al:Oldies 1]

[00:09.36]Trailer for sale or rent
[00:13.87]Rooms to let...fifty cents.
[00:17.82][01:35.58][01:35.58]No phone, no pool, no pets
[00:21.56][01:39.72][01:39.72]I ain't got no cigarettes
[00:24.96]Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
[00:29.04][01:47.67][01:47.67]Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
[00:32.33][01:04.15][01:51.40][01:51.40]I'm a man of means by no means
[00:36.21][01:08.63][01:55.53][01:55.53]King of the road.
[00:39.81][01:10.90][01:29.15]
[00:41.50]Third boxcar, midnight train
[00:45.03]Destination...Bangor, Maine.
[00:49.03]Old worn out clothes and shoes,
[00:53.05]I don't pay no union dues,
[00:56.17]I smoke old stogies I have found
[01:00.46]Short, but not too big around
[01:12.05]I know every engineer on every train
[01:15.52]All of their children, and all of their names
[01:20.31]And every handout in every town
[01:23.90]And every lock that ain't locked
[01:27.75]When no one's around.
[01:29.83][01:29.83]I sing,
[01:30.89][01:30.89]Trailers for sale or rent
[01:32.50][01:32.50]Rooms to let, fifty cents
[01:42.71][01:42.71]Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
