Lyrics for King Of The Road

Trailers for sale or rent Rooms to let, fifty cents No cars no pool no pets I ain't got no cigarettes It takes four hours of pushin' broom To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room I'm a man of means, by no means King of the road Trailers for sale or rent Rooms to let, fifty cents No cars no pool no pets I ain't got no cigarettes It takes eight hours of pushin' broom To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room I'm a man of man, by no means King of the road, take it Slim It takes eight hours of pushin' broom To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room I'm a man of man, by no means King of the road, one more time Trailers for sale or rent Rooms to let, fifty cents No cars no pool no pets I ain't got no cigarettes It takes eight hours of pushin' broom To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room I'm a man of man, by no means King of the road, take it Slim
