I ain't got no cigarettes
It takes four hours of pushin' broom
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room

Trailers for sale or rent

No cars, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road

(Take slower)

It takes four hours of pushin' broom
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road
