No Deal |
Now this man down at the used car lot |
Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk. |
I said, «man, there is no engine!», |
He said, «the engines just a bunch of junk. |
You dont need no engine to go downhill |
And I could plainly see, that thats the direction |
Youre headed in», and he handed me the keys |
(I said) no deal; |
you cant sell this stuff to me No deal, Im going back to tennessee |
Well, I went to a doctor of the highest order, |
He said I couldnt have a drink for a year. |
One glass of wine on my birthday |
If my birthday wasnt too very near. |
Lord, he must have put me in a state of shock |
cause I made it for about two weeks; |
Then he sent me a bill |
That knocked me flat off the wagon |
And back down on my feet |
When true love knocked upon my door |
Shed just barely turned fifteen |
And I was a little bit nervous |
If you know just what I mean. |
But Ive heard somewhere |
That true love conquers all |
And I figured that was that |
Then I started having dreams bout |
Being chased out of town |
Wearing nothing but my cowboy hat. |
Well, I come through this life a stumbler, my friends |
I expect to die that way |
It could be twenty years from now |
It could be most any day. |
But if there is no whiskey and women, lord, |
Behind them heavenly doors |
Im gonna take my chances down below, |
And of that you can be sure |
