Railroad song remembered

2103 On the road again Selected lyrics. Roger Miller.

 "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,
king of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
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"
