(townes van zandt)
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
