Dry Town Gillian Welch & David Rawlings
Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler Good hundred miles between me and Missoula That vinyl top weren't getting no cooler So I stopped at a Quickie Sack Cause I figure I'd need about a six of Miller And one of them things so's I wouldn't spill 'er So 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 hesitatin' 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 it's your transmission You need Bob but he's gone fishing On his day off he gets a long way from here
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
Well back home friends you can get a dose of Something strong from the local grocer I walked down 'till I come closer To a place called Happy John's He said I keep some for colds and fevers Down underneath's where I usually leave 'er But just last night I felt a cold coming on
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
