Now this man down at the used car lotnTried to sell me four wheels and a trunk.nI said, Man, there is no engine!,nHe said, The engine's just a bunch of junk.nYou don't need no engine to go downhillnAnd I could plainly see, that that's the directionnYou're headed in, and he handed me the keyes.nn(I said) No deal; you can't sell this stuff to menNo deal, I'm going back to TennesseennWell, I went to a doctor of the highest order,nHe said I couldn't have a drink for a year.nOne glass of wine on my birthdaynIf my birthday wasn't too very near.nLord, he must have put me in a state of shockn'cause I made it for about two weeks;nThen he sent me a billnThat knocked me flat off the wagonnAnd back down on my feet.nnWhen true love knocked upon my doornShe'd just barely turned fifteennAnd I was a little bit nervousnIf you know just what I mean.nBut I've heard somewherenThat true love conquers allnAnd I figured that was thatnThen I started having dreams 'boutnBeing chased out of townnWearing nothing but my cowboy hat.nnWell, I come through this life a stumbler, my friendsnI expect to die that waynIt could be twenty years from nownIt could be most any day.nBut if there is no whiskey and women, Lord,nBehind them heavenly doorsnI'm gonna take my chances down below,nAnd of that you can be sure.
