King Of The Road Lyrics


Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
I am a two hours of pushin' broom buys a
Eight by ten four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
'Cause I'm a king of the road
Yes, I'm a king of the road
Yeah, a king of the road
Just a 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

'Cause I'm a king of the road
A king of the road
King of the road
Just a king of the road
I'm a king of the road
Yeah I'm a king of the road
Just the king of the road
The king of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All the children and all the good names
Every handout in every town
And if it's locked it ain't locked if no one's around
I say, trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents
I'm a man no means by no means
'Cause I'm a king of the road
Yeah I'm a king of the road
Yeah I'm a king of the road
Yeah I'm a king of the road
Just a king of the road
Yeah I'm a king of the road
I'm a king of the road
King of the king of the king of the
Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Jim White is a southern gothic alt-country singer-songwriter. He has released four albums as a solo artist.

While his music is based in americana, he borrows elements from rock, rhythm and blues, and even electronica, often piecing sounds together in the lo-fi cut-and-paste fashion of artists like Tom Waits. His albums have featured a wide variety of collaborators, such as Victoria Williams, Morcheeba, Aimee Mann, Barenaked Ladies, and Joe Henry. He is signed to David Byrne's Luaka Bop label and appeared in the BBC documentary, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which looks at musicians inspired by the culture of the American South.

Not be confused with the acclaimed Dirty Three / Cat Power / Smog / P. J. Harvey / Nina Nastasia drummer, who also had a recent collaboration album "You Follow Me" with Nastasia under the name of Nina Nastasia And Jim White
