Gillian Welch - Dry town

^EWell the road was hot and flat as a ruler Good ^Ahundred miles between me and Missoula That ^Bvinyl top were'nt gettin' no cooler So I stopped at a Quickie ^ESack ^ECuz I figured I'd need about a six of Miller And ^Aone of them things so I wouldn't spill her So ^BI asked the girl if the beer was in the back

She said ^B"It's a dry town No beer no liquor for ^Emiles around" I'd give a nickel for a ^Asip or two To ^Ewash me down ^BOutta this dry ^Etown A E B E

^ESo I turn right around, no hesitation Cu^Arsed the laws ruinin' the nation ^BWaved goodbye to the boy at the station But she wouldn't go into ^Egear

^EHe said it sounds like your transmission You n^Aeed to Bob, but he's gone fishin' On ^Bhis day off, he gets a long way from here

Cause "It^B's a dry town No beer no liquor for ^Emiles around" I'd give a nickel for a ^Asip or two To ^Ewash me down ^BOutta this dry ^Etown A E B E

Well ^Eback home friends you can get a dose Of ^Asomething strong from a local grocer So ^BI walked down till I come closer To a place called ^EHappy Johns

^EHe said "I keep something for colds and fevers ^ADown under here is where I usually leave her ^BBut just last night I felt a cold a comin' on"

Now "It's^B a dry town No beer no liquor for ^Emiles around" I'd give a nickel for a ^Asip or two To ^Ewash me down ^BOutta this dry ^Etown I need a ^Asip or two To ^Ewash me down B A E Outta this dry------ town A E B E
