Lyrics
Dry Country
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jesus turned the water into wine
So it seems to me it shouldn't be a crime
But there's a way of thinkin' 'round here
That astounds me
You can work all day in the summer sweat
And go down to the store to get your whistle wet
But a Dr. Pepper's all you're gonna get
Sorry, It's a dry county
But if I take a ride up 35
Just across the county line
There's a neon sign and a cute little waitress
Smilin' at me
If I stay and hang around here
Keep beggin' my buddies for bootleg beer
My dreams might whither up
And die around me
It's a dry county
It ain't rained around here in so damn long
You can see it when an old timer tells a joke
You don't smile you just keep playn' dominoes
And drink your coffee
Thirty miles to the east takes a lot more green
And they got more green for the football team
And 'round here
We ain't seen a winnin' streak since the 80's
It's a dry county
But if I take a ride up 35
Just across the county line
There's a neon sign and a cute little waitress
Smilin' at me
If I stay and hang around here
Keep beggin' my buddies for bootleg beer
My dreams might whither up
And die around me
It's a dry county
Last time I took Becky to the drive-in
I couldn't even talk her into a little kiss
You couldn't loosen her up with
A whole can of WD-40
But if I take a ride up 35
Just across the county line
There's a neon sign and a cute little waitress
Smilin' at me
I can stay and hang around here
Waste away the best of my years
So good bye yall
Promise I'll call
I've had about all
Of this dry county
It's a dry county
