🎶 King of the Road: RV Edition
A mid-tempo funk-folk tale of janky greatness, asphalt soul, and duct-tape dreams

🌄 Why This Song Exists
Because royalty ain’t in the rig — it’s in the rhythm.
And this track? It’s a crown made of creaky AC vents, sunrise playlists, and coffee-fueled perseverance.
“King of the Road: RV Edition” is for: ✅ The solo haulers with swagger
✅ The harmonica philosophers
✅ The ones who trade polish for purpose
This song doesn’t brag.
It grins, shrugs, and says, “Yeah, this seat leans back just fine.”
🎙 What Inspired This Song
Born from a late-night propane refill and a duct-taped door latch, this one came through talk-sing truth and harmonica haze.
It’s part spoken word swagger, part backroad blues, and all soul-on-wheels.
Inspired by:
-
Warm beer, good neighbors, bad hookups
-
Sunsets stolen from boondock cliffs
-
The kind of freedom you can’t finance
This song is equal parts gritty and grateful —
Because the road may rattle, but it never lies.
✍ Lyrics Highlight
🎵 King of the road, oh yeah, RV edition
My A-C growls and squeaks, but it’s got ambition…
It’s not irony — it’s truth with groove.
You don’t need a throne. You just need a view.
🚐 Part of the Bigger Story
This is the underdog soul of the Tabula Rasa Tour.
Where Let’s Ride is the anthem and Born to Be Mild is the wink —
King of the Road: RV Edition is the campfire crown.
It’s for those who live large in 258 square feet,
Who wave to every rig like they’re royalty too.
This isn’t about being flawless.
It’s about being fully present in the creak, the breeze, and the beat.
They ask if you’re tired of moving?
You laugh and say:
Tired’s just proof I’m alive.
Then pour another coffee. And keep rollin’.
