1965....#4 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 UK Singles Chart, #10 Canada Original live performance video edited and remastered with HQ studio sound. “King of the Road“ is a song written by country singer Roger Miller, who first recorded it in November 1964. The lyrics tell of the day-to-day life of a hobo who, despite being poor (a “man of means by no means“), revels in his freedom, describing himself humorously and cynically as the “king of the road“. It was Miller's fifth single for Smash Records. The popular crossover record hit No. 1 on the US Country chart, No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 1 on the Easy Listening surveys. It was also No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart, and in Norway. Miller recalled that the song was inspired when he was driving and saw a sign on the side of a barn that read, “Trailers for sale or rent“. This would become the opening line of the song.
