A Blues tune
Customer comes in looking for a deal
Doesn't want me to make a buck
Customer doesn't care how I feel
I ain't got no money ain't got no luck

Don't care if you sell Honda's, Chevy's or Subaru's
If your selling cars you get them car salemans blues
Pushing that iron on down the road
Boss don't care, just carry the load

Meet and greet smile and qualify
Demo ride, presentation,
Customer gets upset, mollify
Walkaround, ego deflation

Don't care if you sell Honda's, Chevy's or Subaru's
If you sell cars you get them car salemans blues
pushing that iron on down the road
Boss don't care, just carry the load

Kids growing up while your at the store
GM, Chrysler, stores are retracting
Dealer down the street turns into a whore
Made junk for years, buyers reacting

Don't care if you sell Honda's, Chevy's or Subaru's
If you sell cars you get them car salemans blues
pushing that iron on down the road
Boss don't care, just carry the load

Depression sets in and cars don't sell
Economy stinks your price's too high
Boss says it's you fault he can go to hell
Can't pay the mortgage but you gotta try

Don't care if you sell Honda's, Chevy's or Subaru's
If you sell cars you get them car salemans blues
pushing that iron on down the road
Boss don't care, just carry the load

Smart ass young punks just kicking tires
Weasels and jerks getiin' under my skin
Lot lizards playing just jerking my wires
A place in my life I can't seem to win


Don't care if you sell Honda's, Chevy's or Subaru's
If you sell cars you get them car salemans blues
pushing that iron on down the road
Boss don't care, just carry the load

If yo' sellin' cars you bound to get dem car salesmans blues
