Dry Town Lyrics - Miranda Lambert

1 Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler

2 Good hundred miles between me and Missoula

3 That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler

4 I stopped at a Quickie Sack

5 Well, I figured I'd need about a six of Miller

6 And one of those things so I wouldn't spill 'er

7 And I asked the girl if the beer was in the back

8 She said

9 "It's a dry town

10 No beer, no liquor for miles around

11 I'd give a nickel for a sip or two

12 To wash me down

13 Outta this dry town"

14 So I turn right around, no hesitation

15 Cursed the laws for ruinin' the nation

16 Waved goodbye to the boy at the station

17 But she wouldn't go in gear

18 He said it sounds like your transmission

19 You need Bob, but he's gone fishin'

20 On his day off, he gets a long way from here

21 'Cause

22 It's a dry town

23 No beer, no liquor for miles around

24 I'd give a nickel for a sip or two

25 To wash me down

26 Outta this dry town

27 Well, back home friends you can get a dose of

28 Something strong from your local grocer

29 So I walked down til I got a little closer

30 To a place called Happy John's

31 He said I keep something here for colds and fevers

32 Down underneath's where I usually leave her

33 But just last night I felt a cold comin on

34 It's a dry town

35 No beer, no liquor for miles around

36 I'd give a nickel for a sip or two

37 To wash me down

38 Outta this dry town

39 I'd need a sip or two

40 To wash me down

41 Outta this dry town
