Miranda Lambert - Dry Town lyrics

rate me

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 so

I stopped at a quickie sack

Well I figured I'd need about a six 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 into gear

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

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 came a little closer

To a place called Happy Johns

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 comin 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
