King Of The Road
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
But, two hours of pushing broom buys a 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 the children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around
Dang Me
Well, here I sat high, getting ideas I ain't nothing but a fool to live like this
Out all night, and running wild woman sitting home with a month old child
Dang me, dang me they ought to take a rope and hang me
High, from the highest tree woman would you weep for me
Just sitting round drinking with the rest of the guys six rounds bought, and I bought five
Spent the groceries and half the rent like fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents
Dang me, dang me they ought to take a rope and hang me
High, from the highest tree woman would you weep for me
They say roses are red, and violets are purple sugars sweet and so is maple surple
But I'm the seventh out of the seven sons my pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun
Dang me, dang me they ought to take a rope and hang me
High, from the highest tree woman would you weep for me
Ain't Gonna Work No More
Well I quit my job and I told my boss I ain't gonna work no more
Every day's gonna be my day off I ain't gonna work no more
I'm tired of being just one of the bunch getting up early, packing up for lunch
I'm gonna sleep for the next six months I ain't gonna work no more
You can take my house and take my car I ain't gonna work no more
I'm gonna find out who my real friends are I ain't gonna work no more
I say l'm tired of being just one of the bunch getting up early, packing up for lunch
I've been poor before, more'n once I ain't gonna work no more
There ain't no kinda job I'm gonna find I ain't gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work a big car line I ain't gonna work no more
I'm gonna put the world on hold throw out the paddle, roll with the boat
I'm gonna leave them with a two word note I ain't gonna work no more
I'll Pick Up My Heart (And Go Home)
Once again you've got me crying I'm a fool if I let this go on
You can hurt me without even trying think I'll pick up my heart and go home
I can see the first signs of autumn all at once all the flowers have gone
Suddenly I feel so forgotten think I'll pick up my heart and go home
Someplace where you'll never find me a place where I can leave your memories behind me
Once again you've got me crying I'm a fool if I let this go on
You can hurt me without even trying think I'll pick up my heart and go home
As Long As There's A Shadow
As long as there's a hill there's a valley as long as there's a valley then the river can flow free
As long as there's a sun there's a shadow as long as there's a shadow there's a place for you and me
A secret place to run and hide a secret love can't be denied
A secret place that no-one knows but you and me and the lonely breeze that blows
As long as there's a hill there's a valley as long as there's a valley then the river can flow free
As long as there's a sun there's a shadow as long as there's a shadow there's a place for you and me
A secret place to run and hide a secret love can't be denied
A secret place that no-one knows but you and me and the lonely breeze that blows
Love Is Not For Me
I like the women I like to hold them tight
Kiss them squeeze them tease them that's alright
But I'll never marry I'm for love but love is not for me
Now I like to romping stomping cut up loud and pick out the pretty faces in the crowd
But I'll never marry I'm for love but love is not for me
I'm having too much fun doing like I'm done living on the run playing the field
And tryin' to stay away from any permanent type of deal
I like the women I like to hold them tight
Kiss them squeeze them tease them that's alright
But I'll never marry I'm for love but love is not for me
Now I like to romping stomping cut up loud and pick out the pretty faces in the crowd
But I'll never marry I'm for love but love is not for me
I'm having too much fun doing like I'm done
