The View from 5B



3A and 4B are swappin' stories about Alaska and Montana and the regions and towns
and products that they sold  there and the issues they had
and the fella's that they knew so very long ago.

These new guys now, they don't want to put the time in and
they don't know the people and they don't know the territory

You gotta work the territory,
You gotta know the territory if you want to get ahead!

And the blades start a turnin' and the engines cough to life
and here we go again. Yes the turbines kick them faster
and we buckle up our belts cause Portland's getting closer
to our tired droopy faces and our small cups of beer.

Our shirts and skirts and our food show pants, reek of
over cooked bacon and burgers and of country style fries
with our trade show feet we keep shufflin' down the aisle
wishing that we were younger and shorter and lighter than we are.

 We are all in our seats and buckled low and tight
the cups recycled and the tables are stowed for the final approach
soon we're back on the ground and choosing new seats
on this funny carrousel , oh  the ride never ends.
