Radio Paradise (mobile)

Trailer 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 pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Third bocxcar 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 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
I sing trailers for sale or rent...

khunshawn Jun 29, 2012 - 06:43	Elvis Costello, followed by The Beatles, followed by Greg Brown, followed by Roger Miller. My god I love this station! Thank you Bill. [ Reply ]
jimbaca Jun 29, 2012 - 06:43	I never tire of listening to this song. Roger lived close by in Santa Fe. [ Reply ]
Cyclehawk Jun 29, 2012 - 06:42	I remember my dad or someone brought home some 45's that my brother and I used to play on a little turntable. This was one of them, and it got played a lot. I must have been 6 or 7. My dad always seemed to like this one. [ Reply ]

expatlar Apr 26, 2012 - 15:54	Well I imagine this song sucks a memory out of nowhere for those of us of a certain age. My dad had a brand new '65 GTO, four on the floor, two four-barrels, a radio, and some pretty great memories. Thanks for the flashback. [ Reply ]

jmsmy Apr 26, 2012 - 15:53	One of my Dad's favorite songs. He would be surprised it's being played on my favorite rock radio station [ Reply ]

Anax Mar 25, 2012 - 22:39	Had to turn it off. 1965, living with my step-father. I'm surprised it brought the memories back so viscerally. No. [ Reply ]
stewbintn Feb 23, 2012 - 06:05	Burnt into my memories too Bill. There's a tavern where I grew up in Michigan called the 'Tally Ho', which was one of my Dad's old hangouts. Every time i hear this song I can picture the place and this song playing on the jukebox. [ Reply ]
