No Deal

(início)

Now this man down at the used car lot
                                     A7
tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk
I said, "Man, there is no engine!",
                                        D
he said, "The engine's just a bunch of junk
You don't need no engine to go downhill
    G                           A7
and I could plainly see, that that's the direction
                                         D
you're headed in", and he handed me the keyes
             D                                 A7
(I said) No deal; you can't sell this stuff to me
                                  D
No deal, I'm going back to Tennessee
Well, I went to a doctor of the highest order,
he said I couldn't have a drink for a year
One glass of wine on my birthday
if my birthday wasn't 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
she'd just barely turned fifteen
and I was a little bit nervous
if you know just what I mean
But I've 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
I'm gonna take my chances down below,
and of that you can be sure
