    Trailers 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 pushin' broom
    Buys an 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 clothes 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 their 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
    Rooms to let, fifty cents
    No phone, no pool, no pets
    I ain't got no cigarettes
    Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
    Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
    I'm a man of means by no means
    King of the road.

    If Christophe Brandt were to sing it, he might belt out "I'm Waiting for
    the Man" by the Velvet Underground (to continue the NYC downtown theme
    (which was a good one, Dan) - sorry, but I can't think of any Boxcar [censored]
    songs...).

    Finally, someone posted the correct answer.

    Are you the dude I see in full c. 1998 Mapei kit in San Rafael most
    mornings around 6:45 AM? (I am climbing Irwin while you're bombing
    down it.)
