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