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 |
