Lyrics
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
With a broken-down contraption
Made of old tin cans
Says he's gonna bring together
Every stray cloud
From Willow Swamp Creek
To old Washeo town
He's gonna squeeze salvation
From the black dust wind
He's gonna breathe new life
Into the hull and the skin
But it won't come easy
And it won't come cheap
And like every farmer knows
You got to plant a couple seeds
So whether cut collecting dust
Under a mattress in a bag
Or off collecting interest
In the national bank
Take all you got saved
Take all you can scrape
'Cause Lord knows the traveling man
Won't wait
Now the engine starts to chug
And the wires are all abuzz
And the whole thing starts to shake
At the heavens up above
Then the traveling man
Reaches out and pulls the plug
Says "All right everybody
I think you've had enough
Just keep steady in your faith
And I'm sure you'll see some luck"
Then he hauled out of town
With a couple hundred bucks
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
With a broken-down contraption
Made of old tin cans
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
Out in the field
There's a traveling man
With a broken-down contraption
Made of old tin cans
Says he's gonna bring together
Every stray cloud
From Willow Swamp Creek
To old Washeo town
He's gonna squeeze salvation
From the black dust wind
He's gonna breathe new life
Into the hull and the skin
But it won't come easy
And it won't come cheap
And like every farmer knows
You got to plant a couple seeds
So whether cut collecting dust
Under a mattress in a bag
Or off collecting interest
In the national bank
Take all you got saved
Take all you can scrape
'Cause Lord knows the traveling man
Won't wait
