Salesman
Now, i've been travelin' long & hard
And all over this big land
And i've got somethin' here in my bag
For every woman & man
And nowhere is too far
'cause i cover a pretty wide base
From way down south to way up north
I'll shake hands with any friendly face
Chorus:
Salesman, salesman
Why don't you sell me somethin'
Salesman, salesman
Why don't you sell me somethin'
Now i've got a box in my hand
And i'm gonna travel that land
I'm a salesman for hire
And i never get tired
So just plug it in & it'll work
Don't worry about it breakin'
It's factory made & guaranteed
And we're not fakin'
Chorus repeat
Now, i keep bangin' on my case
And smilin' broad & make the deal
But sometimes my feet begin to shake
Like i'm slippin' on a banana peel
Stan slips about
And i've been everywhere around this world
I fly on the edge of the ball
I keep the numbers all up here
I just read the map & steer, that's all
Chorus repeat
Now i'll never give up this way of life
This life has called me to
I've gotta get to new orleans by noon
If i can only find my shoe
'cause i'm a salesman! pleased to meetcha!
And i've seen the dirt & dust
Of a hundred towns like this
I just work my way on through
Sometimes it's just hit & miss
And i got a little something here in my bag
To help me burn the leaves
But i gotta watch it close this time
I know, because nothin' comes for free
No, nothin' comes for free
I know a little girl in idaho
I guess i'll look her up now in a week or so
She was always good for a drink & a laugh
And what the traffic would allow
Chorus repeat
Everybody wants a real deal, everybody wants a real deal
Everybody wants a real deal, everybody wants a real deal
