From the YouTube Music Archives XXXVI: Roger Miller

Not just Marty Robbins but Roger Miller put it an appearance at the Korrektiv Summit last year. Here he is on an earlier incarnation of TNT singing King of the Road.

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 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 clothes 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
