Road Worn Blues
There's always a story. I'm too amped up right now to type it out here, but here's my lyrical contribution for today. I'm sure I've got some good company here.
*
Half way to nowhere
meet a customer I saw 3 years ago
now wants to buy
Everyone wants a piece of me
Can't have none unless you got money
Got them dashboard blues
Got them windshield blues
Got them outta town blues
*
Passing rental cars
Two starch shirts jaw jackin' about nuthin'
Acting like azzholes with the boss's money
Made six but didn't earn any
Time to get a new job
Got those dashboard blues
Got those windshield blues
Got those road worn blues
*
Brooks Brothers best hanging in the window
Audi leather seats and a big fat loan
Clipped on the belt everyone can see
You got the newest phone
You're not Batman
Got those dashboard blues
Got those windshield blues
Hate those Sales guys blues
Audi leather seats and a big fat loan
Clipped on the belt everyone can see
You got the newest phone
You're not Batman
Got those dashboard blues
Got those windshield blues
Hate those Sales guys blues

Damn phone has a mind of its own.....
Supposed to be a "Roger that" reply to Oily.

No mullet, fat gold watch or hair gel here. I'm Roger that.

Yep. We geo-types are the same way. But that doesn't stop us from accepting the occasional lunch, hunting trip, or ball game, just to keep 'em coming back. It's a game we play.

No mullet, fat gold watch or hair gel here. I'm a chemist selling to other chemists. You know, nerds. Nerds know when a sales job is being done on
them.

Ah. Conflicted. I hear you. Some of my best mullets...er, friends, are sales guys, but I wouldn't want my daughter to necessarily marry one.
Unless he could get me Astros, Giants, Yankees, or any other MLB team season tickets!

I am presently a sales.guy, customer, and business owner. Hence my extreme dislike for the typical sales guy.

Bad,
Glad you got calmer. Been a Sales Guy, and a Customer. There's a reason Sales Guys call 'em Customers: that's what happened when they changed things up on you - you Cussed 'Em! >:-E

Thanks guys. I didnt give the other bad finger. Just kept on driving. iI was surprised how much writing this out helped calm me a little. Never been much of a writer.
To me these liyrics are like the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. You can like it fine, but if you havent been a Sales Guy, it may be difficult to fully appreciate.
