americus.


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.
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.
