Lyrics
There's some sayings 'bout drinkin'
How it drowns out the hurt
Back then in Winfield, Kansas
That took a lot of work
So we'd drive to Ponca City
To buy a bottle of Jack
Take it back to his front porch
And pour himself a glass
Yeah the law said turn to Jesus
But prayer can't change the fact
That she promised him forever
Then she took forever back
They say they made the law for families
Well he ain't got one no more
So he's drinkin' in a dry county
'Til the very last pour
There's a lot of rumors flying
Lot of holy-man opinions
They think it's a devil's game he's playing
But they don't know the hell he's living
Yeah the law said turn to Jesus
But prayer can't change the fact
That she promised him forever
Then she took forever back
They say they made the law for families
But he ain't got one no more
So he's drinkin' in a dry county
'Til the very last pour
Yeah the law said turn to Jesus
But prayer can't change the fact
That she promised him forever
Then she took forever back
They say they made the law for families
Well he ain't got one no more
So he's drinkin' in a dry county
'Til the very last pour
Drinking in a dry county
'Til the very last pour
