If I left the US for fear of being deported but I have nothing on my record, and had work history in the US, will I be able to get back?

No, not for a while, if at all, if you worked while in the U. S. on a tourist visa. There may also be other complications, such as overstaying your I-94 departure deadline. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are more complications.
