Where is the destination in the song King of the Road by Roger Miller?

"Third boxcar, midnight train, destination... Bangor, Maine". If you're looking for the romantic or classical meaning of the song, it's about not being tied down and considering different places to go. The excitement and adventure of being able to come and go as you please o the road. The character in the song is a "Hobo" or a "Transient". He travels by way of jumping empty cargo trains. If a cigar is thrown out he is content just smoking the leftover part. He is not greedy, and takes just what he needs, and a few benefits along the way. Thus the lyric "I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road." Ultimately in one part of the song he sings of Bangor, Maine. Whether or not he reaches that destination is of little importance to him. It's mainly the journey.
