King of the Road [Rufus Wainwright] — текст песни (Various Artists)

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 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 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.
