Drinkin' in a Dry County

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
