Dry Town

[Verse 1] Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler Good hundred miles between me and Missoula That vinyl top wasn't getting' 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 her I asked the girl if the beer was in the back She said [Chorus] "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" [Verse 2] So I turn right around, no hesitation Cursed the law for running' the nation Waved goodbye to the boy at the station But she wouldn't go into 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 [Chorus] '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 [Verse 3] Well, back home friends you can get a dose of Something strong from your local grocer So I walked down 'till I came a little closer To a place called Happy Johns He said, "I keep something here for colds and fevers Down underneath where I usually leave her Just last night, I felt a cold coming on" [Chorus] Now 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 Outta this dry town
