King Of The Road

WARNING: THIS SONG MAY CAUSE SMOKERS TO LIGHT UP. Roger Miller's biggest hit contains the imagery of making due with just the bare necessities and contains some great lines. I recently heard "No phone, no pool, no pets" being sung by the main character in the movie "Into The Wild". And you nicotine fiends are all too familiar with the heart wrenching phrase "I ain't got not cigarettes". Contrary to some disbelievers, I am singing while playing the guitar and riffing on a harmonica held in place by one of those "Bob Dylan thing-a-ma-jigs". I know that tobacco is getting real expensive but please do us a favor and pass on those short used stogies should you find them. "I'm a man of means, by no means king of the road." Enjoy. - FK

Two hours of pushin' broom buys an 8 x 12 four bit room ( four bits = .50cents!)
