Geoff Castellucci - KING OF THE ROAD (Roger Miller Cover)

 Geoff Castellucci - 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 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 
And 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 
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.
