Dry County

Intro | () | (x2) Verse 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 as- tounds 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 Verse 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 Bridge 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 Tag It's a dry county
