This is a Cover song. Roger Miller recorded this in the 60's. I thought I would give it a go. The recording is lacking. I kinda did it in a hurry...Its been awhile since I posted anything & I thought this was a fun song to do...hope ya all enjoy

"King Of The Road"

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
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Nice to see posting songs again Flyer, You made this your own, better quality recording from you.
Sounds like you had fun

The original is an excellent song....this is spot on.
Enjoying it all, well done a very good rendition.
So you've been practicing your vocals ? I'm well impressed, you've really found your voice.
Love the 'chugging' rhythm, just as it should be.

Thanks Denis...

Thanks Kings..yes Kings I have been practicing my vocals...btw..Thanks for the advise on carrying the vox and not cutting them short
