Lyrics for Understanding Salesman

A knock at the door means Hello Jesus calls A ring on the phone means A trip to Niagara Falls Daddy don't let me down this time I'm all alone inside my mind And it's no small thing That I must prove to you A late night card game With the guys is alright But I would rather Take you for a test drive Daddy don't let me down this time I'm all alone inside my mind And it's no small thing That I must prove to you While I look out on the passing fields The sun through the bugs on the windshield Makes me feel like I don't matter A knock on the door means Hello Jesus calls A ring on the phone means A trip to Niagara Falls
