Miranda Lambert - Dry Town lyrics

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

So I stopped at a quickie sack

I figured I'd need about a six of miller

And one of them things so I wouldn't spill her

And 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 out of this dry town"

So, I turned right around, no hesitation

Cursed the laws ruining 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 fishing

On 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 out of 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 came a little closer

To a place called Happy John's

He said: "I keep some here for colds and fevers

Down underneath's where I usually leave her

But just last night I felt a cold a coming on"

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 out of this dry town

I need a sip or two

To wash me down out of this dry town
