King Of The Road (From The Movie: Brokeback Mountain) Songtext / Lyric

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 fout-bit room

I'm a man of means byno 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

Room 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

King of the road
