lyrics

Dry County

this is a dry county mister
and you can’t get no liquor round here
but just across the county line
you can buy yourself a truckload of beer
so let me tell you something friend, let me give you the news
i’m heading over there right about now to get me some booze
yes i'm heading over there right now to get me some booze

it’s just the next county over where the folks are drinking wine all day
then come sundown, it’s time to switch to whisky they say
if they run outta whisky they switch right back to wine
either way lordy mercy, ooh, you know they have a good time
either way, lordy mercy, seems like they have a mighty fine time
that's right, friend, they have a real good time
a real good time

that's why i’m crossing the county line
i’m gonna get me some juice
and don’t you try to stop me now
i tell you it ain’t no use
cause you see this bone dry county here
is giving me the blues you know
so listen honey don’tcha wanna come with me
come on let’s go
yeah yeah yeah, let's go

oooooooh oooooooh. . .
come on honey come with me let's go
come on honey! honey let's go!

now if you don’t think they’re doing some serious drinking
you just sit back and watch
they're starting with some Colt 45 malt liquor
then switchin’ to single malt scotch
Balvenie!
Dalwhinnie!
it don’t matter they just fill up the glass
just like I’m gonna do once I get there
ah, you can bet your ass
you can bet your last dollar and you can bet your ass
yeah that's right, that's right

oooooh oooooooh ooooooh . . .
come on baby let’s cross that county line
things over there are just dandy and fine
and listen up honey i’ll buy your first glass of wine
gonna have ourselves a real good time
baby i ain't lying
ooh we'll be drinking some wine
oh lordy mercy, be a real fine time
a real fine time
now come on baby let's go
