Dry Town

	  		G 
Well the road was hot and flat as a ruler 
     C 
Good hundred miles between me and Missoula 
     D 
That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler 
     G 
So I stopped at a quickie sack 
G 
Well, I figured I'd need about a sixth of Miller 
    C 
And one of those things so I wouldn't spill her 
  D 
I asked the girl if the beer was in the back 

She said  

D 
It's a dry town  
                            G 
No beer no liquor for miles around 
                        C 
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two 
G            
To wash me down 
D              G 
Outta this dry town 

G 
So I turn right around, no hesitation 
  C 
Cursed the laws ruinin' the nation 
D            
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station 
        G 
But she wouldn't go into gear 

G 
He said it sounds like your transmission 
     C 
You need to Bob, but he's gone fishin' 
   D 
His day off, he gets a long way from here 

Cause  

Chorus 

Well back home friends you can get a dose of 
Something strong from your local grocer 
So I walked down till I got a little closer 
To a place called Happy Johns 

He said "I keep something here for colds and fevers 
Down underneath's where I usually leave her 
But just last night I felt a cold a comin' on" 

Chorus
