Edgar Loudermilk Band - The Deal That Won't Go Down

‘The Deal That Won't Go Down”
Edgar Loudermilk (Edgar Loudermilk Music, BMI)/Zack Autry (MrMontanaMusic, BMI)
As I head into the mountains, I see the break of day. I've got many miles behind me, and trouble on my way.
For years I've been a rambler, I roamed from town to town,
I never got the notion I'd ever settle down.
Chorus.
Many years I've been a gambler, but what else could I do,
I had to get away from me, and you.
I left behind a fortune the night I left the town.
I guess I made the deal that won't go down.
I fell in love with a maiden, a lady of the night.
She was beautiful, and charming, but had a wandering eye.
I was beat bad Lord, and busted the night I saw the kiss
from a tall, and handsome cowboy with the one I loved the best.
Chorus.
I see the sun is setting on the snowy mountain tops, my body is so tired Lord knows I cannot stop.
You can't turn back the clock or choose another hand,
and you can't take back a bullet when you've killed another man.
Chorus.
