trent willmon - dry county lyrics
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 d-mn 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
