Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Dry Town lyrics

Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler Good hundred miles between me and Missoula That vinyl top weren't gettin' no cooler So I stopped at a Quickie Sack Well, 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 'Cause 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 So I walked down 'til 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 Now 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 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 I need a sip or two To wash me down Out of this dry town
