Well no deal

You can't sell that stuff to me

Ah no deal

I'm going back to tennessee

Now this man down at the used car lot

Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk

I said but man there is no engine

He said the engine's just a bunch of junk

You don't need no engine to go downhill

And I could plainly see

That 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

Ah 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

And then he sent me a bill

That knocked me flat off the wagon

And back down on my feet

I said no deal

You can't sell that stuff

To me

Ah no deal

I'm going back to tennessee

Well when true love knocked upon my door

She just barely turned fifteen

And I was a little bit nervous

If you know just what I mean

But I'd 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

And I said no deal

You can't sell that stuff

To me

Ah no deal

I'm going back to tennessee

Well I come through this life a stumbler my friends

I expect to die that way

Oh it could be twenty years from now

Could be most any day

But if there is no whiskey and women lord

Behind them heavenly doors

I'm going to take my chances down below

And of that you can be sure

Ah it's no deal

You can't sell that stuff

To me

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
