[Intro]
       

[Verse 1]

Well the road 

was hot and fl

at as a ruler
     
Good hundred m

iles between m

e and Missoula
     
That vinyl top

 were'nt getti

n' no cooler
              
So I stopped a

            
t a Quickie Sa

ck

Cuz I figured 

I'd need about

 a six of Mill

er
    
And one of the

m things so I 

wouldn't spill

 her
   
So I asked the

 girl if the b

eer was in the

 back


[Chorus]
         
She said "It's

 a dry town
              
No beer no liq

        
uor for miles 

around"
              
I'd give a nic

          
kel for a sip 

or two
   
To wash me dow

n
             
Outta this dry

 
 town
       

[Verse 2]

So I turn righ

t around, no h

esitation
  
Cursed the law

s ruinin' the 

nation

Waved goodbye 

to the boy at 

the station
              
But she wouldn

           
't go into gea

He said it sou

nds like your 

transmission
     
You need to Bo

b, but he's go

ne fishin'
   
On his day off

, he gets a lo

ng way from he

re


[Chorus]
         
Cause "It's a 

dry town
              
No beer no liq

        
uor for miles 

around"
              
I'd give a nic

          
kel for a sip 

or two
   
To wash me dow

Outta this dry

[Verse 3]
     
Well back home

Of something s
