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

[Chorus]
                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

[Chorus]
                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 D Em G
It's a dry county

[Bridge]
     Em                       A
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

[Chorus]
                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
I can stay and hang around here
Em             A
Waste away the best of my years
   Bm             A                       Em            F#
So good bye yall, promise I'll call, I've had about all
A           D      Em
Of this dry county
