Dry County

Jesus turned the water into wine So it seems to me it shouldn't be a crime But there's a way of thinking around here That astounds me You can work all day in the summer sweat And go down to the store to get your vessel wet But a Dr. Pepper's all you're gonna get Sorry, it's a dry county But if you take a right off the 35 Just across the county line There's a neon sign and a cute little waitress Smiling at me If I stay and hang around here Keep begging my buddies for bootleg beer My dreams might wither 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 playing dominoes And drink your coffee 30 miles to the east it's a lot more green And they got more green for the football team Around here we ain't seen a winning streak since the 80s It's a dry county But if you take a right off the 35 Just across that county line There's a neon sign and a cute little waitress Smiling at me If I stay and hang around here Keep begging my buddies for bootleg beer My dreams might wither up and die around me It's a dry county Last time I took Betty 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 WD40 But if you take a right off the 35 Just across that county line And there's a neon sign and a cute little waitress Smiling at me I can't stay and hang around here Waste away the best of my years So goodbye all, promise I'll call I had about all of this dry county It's a dry county
