Behind them heavenly doors
And back down on my feet
I'm gonna take my chances down below
Ah, no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee
And it's no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
Ah, no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee
Ah no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee
And I said no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh it's no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
He said I couldn't have a drink for a year
Oh it could be twenty years from now
Well, I come through this life a stumbler, my friends
And I could plainly see
Well when true love knocked upon my door
And he handed me the keys
I expect to die that way
'Cause I made it for about two weeks
I said, "But man, there is no engine!"
Lord, he must have put me in a state of shock
Then I started having dreams 'bout being chased out of town
If my birthday wasn't too very near
That that's the direction you're headed in"
If you know just what I mean
And I said no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
Well, I went to a doctor of the highest order
And I was a little bit nervous
And I said no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
Now this man down at the used car lot
But I'd heard somewhere that true love conquers all
And of that you can be sure
And then he sent me a bill that knocked me flat off the wagon
Wearing nothing but my cowboy hat
"You don't need no engine to go downhill
But if there is no whiskey and women, Lord
And I figured that was that
Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk
Ah, no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee
He said, "The engine's just a bunch of junk"
One glass of wine on my birthday
She just barely turned fifteen
Could be most any day
