Sometimes the road is too long You meet all kinds of people
|
Some of them cast no shadow They have no reflections
|
Take a look in your photobook I'm not there anymore
|
|
I was a traveling salesman
|
I got lost on the backroads
|
Fell in with a crowd of drifters.
|
|
Sometimes the sun is too bright And it burns you like acid
|
You get to love driving at night The moon is so close you can kiss it
|
I used to remember you smiling and waving
|
I don't think I can anymore
|
|
I was a traveling salesman
|
I got lost on the backroads
|
Fell in with a crowd of drifters.
|
|
We come, unnoticed, at sundown At the start of a blackout
|
We set bonfires all over town And it's over by morning
|
Sometimes we bring the rat and the wolf And sometimes the worm
|
|
I was a traveling salesman
|
I got lost on the backroads
|
Fell in with a crowd of drifters.
