Dry Town (Demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler Good hundred miles 'tween me and Missoula That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler So I stopped at a quickie sack [Verse 2] 'Cause I figured I'd need about a sixth of Miller And one of those things so I wouldn't spill 'er And I asked the girl if the beer was in the back She said [Chorus] "It's 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] So I turned right around, no hesitation Cursed the laws ruinin' the nation Waved goodbye to the boy at the station But she wouldn't go into gear [Verse 4] He said, "It sounds like your transmission You need Bob, but he's gone fishin' On his day off, he gets a long way from here" 'Cause... [Chorus] "It's 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 5] Well, back home, friends, you can get a dose of Something strong from your local grocer So I walked down 'til I come closer To a place called Happy John's [Verse 6] He said, "I keep some for colds and fevers Down under here's where I usually leave her But just last night I felt a cold comin' on" [Chorus] "It's 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 [Outro] I need a sip or two To wash me down Outta this dry town
