Roger Miller would have been grinning from ear to ear listening to you two doing a cover of this song ... I know I was. Roger Miller recorded sooo many great songs, including one called the " Tom Green county fair" ... which just happens to be ... the county I currently live in and was also born in 63 years ago! If ya'll get a hankering to do another one of his tunes, listen to that one and give it a try! Also, try "You can't roller skate in a Buffalo herd" ...lol... that one is a lot of fun to perform, I did a lot of his songs years ago when me and a friend and mine would go to some of the Old folks homes (Nursing homes) and perform for the residents! Ya'll keep doin that thing y'all do on Sunday mornings, I don't always get the chance to watch ya'll every Sunday, but I try to! Take care ya'll and stay safe!👍👍😎 ... Ooh, I forgot to say where Tom Green County is ... it's in Texas ... of course! Ya'll should visit here someday after this pandemic is over with! Bye Ya'll! 👍👍😎 ( UPDATE 2021: ...
Yeppers, that's me in the picture with the Cowboy hat! I decided I had used that meme of " Music is my Escape from all Bullshit in the world!" ... long enough .... Y'all have a awesome weekend ... ya hear! 👍👍🤠 )

I remember listening to King of the Road in my parents car on the radio when I was a little well as "Downtown" by Petula Clark.

May dad, who was also my best friend, used to sing this song to me as a little girl. He was born in 1928 so this song was on the radio during his lifetime. Sundays were our days always together growing up. Thank you for evoking this fond memory and filling my heart to overflowing this morning 💕

I think I was on that road. New Mexico? Love this song, my Dad used to play it when we were kids. Love you two.

[NeverLayUp]

I love how you ladies honor the older musicians and their songs!! Love this cover and setting so much.

My mom shot a Super 8 video of me doing a cover of this in 1969, I was 6. She had it converted over to DVD before she passed. Still sing this song, but always reminds me of my mom now.

And then there's Toni.
Not only is she a first rate guitarist, but she can thump the bass with the best of 'em

[kennybluet]

Haha I do that in my living room. I walk away holding the guitar and forget it's plugged in and the Amp comes crashing down . Sucks getting old and forgetful. Love you two.

This is a song that just makes you smile! Great cover ladies!!

When I was 9 in 1966, my family took a trip from our home in Ann Arbor, Michigan out west for a pop-up camping trip to the Grand Tetons, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon, among other places. While on the road in our Ford Fairlane station wagon this hit was playing constantly and the whole family was really loving it. Miller was hot at that time, so we also heard "Dang Me" a bit too, which came out the prior year. Ever since then, I was a big Roger Miller fan, even though I've never been a huge country music aficionado. Listening to him again really brings back some cherished memories.

My father used to play and sing this to me when I was little. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Ok, you two are killing me with that cord plugged into each of your instruments. I was like "they're going run out soon..." and then I hit the floor laughing. Pure class, every time.

Lovely to hear this song being revived, great rendition beautiful sung and played.

[markschafer]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends😊

[leiferickson]

Suspicion... and then the ending was priceless.

Always loved Roger Miller. He was taught how to play the guitar as a kid in Oklahoma by his neighbor and slightly older family friend Sheb Woolley who later became an actor and singer. He had a hit in the late ‘50’s with “purple people eater”. He also recorder with an alter ego Name, Ben Colter. Much like Garth Brooks recorded an album using the name Chris Gaines.

You guys can really bring back the past for us. I was never a Bob Dylan fan until you two did "When I Paint My Masterpiece" and now Roger Miller.

[jeffreyburkart]

My dad and I also sang this together. We listened to this on the local country station. Brings back memories

[edvillanova]

I remember listening to this song when I returned back to the USA in a supply room "singing along" I was interrupted by my Sergeant Major who was greeting me back home from deployment. Hearing it always reminds me of that day. A young kid coming home. Thank You for the memory.
