  • hernesheir Roger Miller performed King of the Road at a Snake River Stampede (rodeo) that I attended in 1971 or 1972. He averred during that performance that the song was written in Boise, Idaho. I remember him mentioning Boise's Chinden Blvd., which was the site of several mobile home manufacturers and sales outfits back then. "Trailer for sale or rent/Rooms to let, 50-cents". This anecdote supports one mentioned at the Wikipedia entry for the song. Mar 18, 2011

    Destination...Bangor, Maine.
    Old worn out suits 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.
