No Deal (LP版) - Guy Clark
I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh no deal  I'm going back to Tennessee
I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh no deal  I'm going back to Tennessee
Well  this man down at the used car lot
Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk
I said  Man  there ain't no engine
He said  The engine's just a bunch of junk
He said  You don't need no engine to go downhill
And I could plainly see
That's the direction you're headed in
And he handed me the keys
And I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh 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
Oh  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
Back down on my feet
And I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh no deal  I'm going back to Tennessee
I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh no deal  I'm going back to Tennessee
Well  I come through this life a stumbler friends
I expect to die that way
It could be twenty years from now
Could be most any day
But if there ain't no whiskey and women  Lord
Behind them heavenly doors
I'm gonna take my chances down below
And of that you can be sure
I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh no deal  I'm going back to Tennessee
I said  No deal  you can't sell that stuff to me
Oh no deal  I'm going back to Tennessee
