Trailer 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 a 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 the children and all of their names
And every hand-out
in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when
no-one's around

I sing...
