Generate meaning
1
Now, I've been travelin' long and hard
2
And all over this big land
3
And I got something here in my bag for every woman and man
4
And nowhere is too far 'cause I cover a pretty wide base
5
>From way down South to way up North
6
I'll shake hands with any friendly face
7
CHORUS
8
Salesman, salesman,
9
Why don't you sell me something?
10
Salesman, salesman,
11
Why don't you sell me something
12
Now I got a box in hand
13
Aand I'm gonna travel that land
14
I'm a salesman for hire
15
And I never get tired
16
So just plug it in and it'll work
17
Don't worry about it breakin'
18
It's factory made and guaranteed, and we're not fakin'
19
CHORUS
20
Now I keep bangin' on my case
21
And smilin' broad and make the deal
22
But sometimes my feet begin to shake
23
Like I'm slippin' on a banana peel
24
And I been everywhere around this world
25
I fly on the edge of the ball
26
I got the umbers all up here
27
I just read the map and steer that's all
28
CHORUS
29
Now I'll never give up this life
30
This life has called me to
31
I gotta get to New Orleans by noon, if I could only find my shoe
32
'Cause I'm a salesman
33
Pleased to meet 'cha
34
I've seen the dirt and dust of a hundred towns like this
35
I just work my way on through
36
Soometimes it's just hit and miss
37
And got a little something here in my bag to help me burn the leaves
38
But I gotta watch it close this time I know
39
Because nothing comes for free (no, nothing comes for free)
40
I knew a little girl in Idaho
41
Guess I'll look her up now in a week or so
42
She was always good for a laugh and a drink
43
And what the traffic would allow
44
CHORUS
45
Everybody wants a real deal-everybody wants a real deal
46
