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.
