Mike Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 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 suits 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.

RockyRaccoon Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I love the song, but I don't think I've ever heard a song that has so many outdated references in it. Twenty years from now, it'll sound like a foreign language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
