Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I know every engineer on every train
All of 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
[Chorus]
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 a
Eight by twelve four-bit room, I'm a
Man of means by no means
King of the road
[Outro]
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 a
Eight by twelve four-bit room
