Verse 
D                      Em 
Jesus turned the water into wine 
      G                        A 
So it seems to me it shouldn't be a crime 
              D                      Bm 
But there's a way of thinkin' 'round here 
         G         A 
That as- tounds me 

        D                   Em 
You can work all day in the summer sweat 
       G                             A 
And go down to the store to get your whistle wet 
      Bm                                A 
But a Dr. Pepper's all you're gonna get 
Em            A   D 
Sorry, it's a dry county 

                D    C#m Bm  A Em              A 
But if I take a ride up 35, just across the county line 
          D    C#m        Bm          A        Em      A 
There's a neon sign and a cute little waitress smilin' at me 
     D    C#m Bm          A 
If I stay and hang around here 
     Em                     A 
Keep beggin' my buddies for bootleg beer 
   Bm                      A       Em 
My dreams might whither up and die around me 
       A   D      Em G A 
It's a dry county
 

Verse 
         D                     Em 
It ain't rained around here in so damn long 
        G                        A 
You can see it when an old timer tells a joke 
          D                          Bm 
You don't smile you just keep playn' dominoes 
    Em                A 
And drink your coffee 

       D                         Em 
Thirty miles to the east takes a lot more green 
         G                      A 
And they got more green for the football team 
           D                     Bm                       Em 
And 'round here, we ain't seen a winnin' streak since the 80's 
       A   D 
It's a dry county

     D    C#m Bm          A

   Bm                      A       Em 
My dreams might whither up and die around me

Last time I took Becky to the drive-in 
           F#                   Bm 
I couldn't even talk her into a little kiss 
             Em                   F#               A 
You couldn't loosen her up with a whole can of WD- 40

But if I take a ride up 35, just across the county line

Waste away the best of my years
