Dry County Lyrics - Singles - Trent Willmon

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 damn 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
