Salesman

Now, I've been travelin' long and hard

And all over this big land

And I got something 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 something?

Salesman, salesman,

Why don't you sell me something

Now I got a box in hand

Aand 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

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

And I been everywhere around this world

I fly on the edge of the ball

I got the umbers all up here

I just read the map and steer that's all

CHORUS

Now I'll never give up this life

This life has called me to

I gotta get to New Orleans by noon, if I could only find my shoe

'Cause I'm a salesman

Pleased to meet 'cha

I've seen the dirt and dust of a hundred towns like this

I just work my way on through

Soometimes it's just hit and miss

And 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 nothing comes for free (no, nothing comes for free)

I knew a little girl in Idaho

Guess I'll look her up now in a week or so

She was always good for a laugh and a drink

And what the traffic would allow

CHORUS

Everybody wants a real deal-everybody wants a real deal
