Dry Town

歌詞

Well the road was hot and flat as a ruler Good hundred miles between me and Missoula That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler I stopped at a quickie sack Well I figured I'd need about a sixth of Miller And one of those things so I wouldn't spill 'er I asked the girl if the beer was in the back She said It's a dry town No beer no liquor for miles around I'd give a nickel for a sip or two To wash me down Outta this dry town So I turn right around no hesitation Cursed the law for ruinin' the nation Waved goodbye to the boy at the station But she wouldn't go in gear He said it sounds like your transmission You need Bob but he's gone fishin' His day off he gets a long way from here Cause It's a dry town No beer no liquor for miles around I'd give a nickel for a sip or two To wash me down Outta this dry town Well back home friends you can get a dose of Something strong from your local grocer So I walked down 'til I got a little closer To a place called Happy Johns He said I keep something here for colds and fevers Down underneath where I usual leave her Just last night I felt a cold coming on It's a dry town No beer no liquor for miles around I'd give a nickel for a sip or two To wash me down Outta this dry town I need a sip or two To wash me down out of this dry town
