King of the Road – Roger Miller

“I’m a man of means by no means

King of the road.”

Roger Miller managed to write and perform one of the most quoted and well known songs of the century, King of the Road.  The song apparently was written on the back of a credit card application form. 

Roger was not always so successful, having once moved to Amarillo Texas to become a fireman.  He once said: The human mind is a wonderful thing, it starts working from before you're born and doesn't stop till you sit down to write a song
