Salesman

Now, i've been travelin' long and hard

And all over this big land

And i've got somethin' here in my bag

For every woman and 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 and it'll work

Don't worry about it breakin'

It's factory made and guaranteed

And we're not fakin'





Chorus repeat





Now, i keep bangin' on my case

And smilin' broad and 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 and 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 and dust

Of a hundred towns like this

I just work my way on through

Sometimes it's just hit and 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 and 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
