Dry Town (Demo)

David Rawlings, Gillian Welch

[Verse 1]
Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
Good hundred miles 'tween me and Missoula
That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler
So I stopped at a quickie sack

[Verse 2]
'Cause 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 ruinin' the nation
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
But she wouldn't go into 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 come 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"

[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 need a sip or two
To wash me down
Outta this dry town
