gillian welch – dry town (demo) lyrics
[verse 1]
well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
good hundred miles between me and missoula
that vinyl top wasn’t gettin’ no cooler
so i stopped at a quickie sack
[verse 2]
well, i figured i’d need about a sixth of miller
and one of those things so i wouldn’t spill ‘er
and i asked the girl if the beer was in the back
she said…
[chorus]
it’s dry town
no beer, no liquor for miles around
i’d give a nickel for a sip or two
to wash me down
outta this dry town
[verse 3]
so i turned right around, no hesitation
cursed the laws for ruinin’ the nation
waved goodbye to the boy at the station
but she wouldn’t go in the gear
[verse 4]
he said it sounds like your transmission
you need bob, but he’s gone fishin’
on his day off, he gets a long way from here
’cause…
[chorus]
it’s dry town
no beer, no liquor for miles around
i’d give a nickel for a sip or two
to wash me down
outta this dry town
[verse 5]
well, back home friends you can get a dose of
something strong from your local grocer
so i walked down ’til i got a little closer
to a place called happy john’s
[verse 6]
he said, “i keep some for colds and fevers
down under here’s where i usually leave her
but just last night i felt a cold comin’ on”
now…
[chorus]
it’s dry town
no beer, no liquor for miles around
i’d give a nickel for a sip or two
to wash me down
outta this dry town
[outro]
i’d need a sip or two
to wash me down
outta this dry town
