My question is where the comma should be... is he saying a man of means by no means.... or is he saying a man of means (being his skill to get along).. by no means King of the Road... in that he is not living the fancy lifestyle of a King on the road... I guess the way it is written above on this website makes the most sense..
I think the comma is correct above. "King of the Road" is a title he's given himself that's somewhere between self-deprication and a glorification of his humble existence. He isn't a man of means, but he has the one thing that's important to himself--freedom--so that makes him a King in his own mind.

Similarly, my grandfather would proudly state he worked as a Pearl Diver when he was younger. "Pearl Diver" meant he was a dishwasher. Diving into those pearly suds every day had to have been a crappy job, but he did it with pride.
