[00:08.00]Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
[00:10.93]A good hundred miles ‘tween me and Missoula
[00:13.24]That vinyl top weren’t gettin’ no cooler
[00:16.36]So I stopped at a Quickie Sack
[00:20.59]’Cause I figure I’d need about a sixth of Miller
[00:23.58]And one of them things so I wouldn’t spill ‘er
[00:26.30]So I asked the girl if the beer was in the back
[00:30.89]She said, “It’s dry town
[00:33.07]No beer, no liquor for miles around”
[00:36.25]I’d give a nickel for a sip or two
[00:38.89]To wash me down
[00:40.49]Outta this dry town
[00:43.18]
[00:49.63]So I turned right around, no hesitation
[00:52.80]Cursed the laws ruinin’ the nation
[00:55.66]Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
[00:58.09]But she wouldn’t go in the gear
[01:02.07]He said, “It sounds like your transmission
[01:05.29]You need Bob, but he’s gone fishin’
[01:08.14]On his day off, he gets a long way from here”
[01:13.00]’Cause it’s dry town
[01:14.71]No beer, no liquor for miles around
[01:17.89]I’d give a nickel for a sip or two
[01:20.31]To wash me down
[01:21.92]Outta this dry town
[01:23.79]
[01:56.20]Well, back home, friends, you can get a dose of
[01:59.23]Something strong from your local grocer
[02:01.95]So I walked down ’til I come closer
[02:04.30]To a place called Happy John’s
[02:08.52]He said, “I keep some for colds and fevers
[02:11.72]Down under here’s where I usually leave her
[02:14.35]But just last night, I felt a cold a-comin’ on”
[02:19.22]Now it’s dry town
[02:20.96]No beer, no liquor for miles around
[02:24.00]I’d give a nickel for a sip or two
[02:26.70]To wash me down
[02:28.25]Outta this dry town
[02:30.18]I need a sip or two
[02:32.19]To wash me down
[02:33.75]Outta this dry town
