No Deal Townes Van Zandt

[Chorus]
Well no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
Ah no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Now this man down at the used car lot
Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk
I said, "But man, there ain't 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

[Chorus]
And I said no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me
Ah no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee

[Verse 2]
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
