Cool Dry Place Lyrics - Traveling Wilburys - Traveling Wilburys

Well, I woke up this morning 

The place was such a wreck 

I couldn't reach the bathroom 

Thought I better clear the deck 

I tried to call the lawyer 

And asked him what to do 

He referred me to his doctor 

Who referred me back to you 

And when you checked the manual 

You kept inside the case 

It said put it in a cool dry place 

Well I drove around the city 

Looking for a room 

That was high above the water 

Where my things could be in tune

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

There was no one to help me 

Nobody even cared 

I had to go through hell 

To get those things up there 

I paid my first subscription 

Then I joined the idle race 

And they said, "Store it in a cool dry place" 

I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums 

Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum 

Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score 

And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor 

Some places they get mildew 

And others get too hot 

Some places are so damp that 

Everything you got just rots 

Photos 

All kinds of condensation 

Direct result of rain 

And not much compensation 

When everything's been stained 

Some have sentimental value that 

Cannot be erased 

Go store it in a cool dry place 

We got solids and acoustics 

And some from plywood board 

And some are trimmed in leather 

And some are made with gourds 

There's organs and trombones 

And reverbs we can't use 

Lots of DX-7s 

And old athletic shoes 

I bought a great big building 

It took up one whole block 

I made an inventory 

Of all the things in stock 

The place was getting longer 

I was up all night 

I used up all my pencils 

But I went on despite 

The blurring of my vision 

The sweat upon my face 

I got to put this stuff away 

I mustn't leave a trace 

The landlord's breathing down my neck 

He says it's a disgrace 

So I said "Put it in a cool, dry place."
