G
Well the road was hot and flat as a ruler
C
Good hundred miles between me and Missoula
D
That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler
G
So I stopped at a quickie sack
G
Well, I figured I'd need about a sixth of Miller
C
And one of those things so I wouldn't spill her
D
I asked the girl if the beer was in the back
She said
D
It's a dry town
G
No beer no liquor for miles around
C
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
G
To wash me down
D G
Outta this dry town
G
So I turn right around, no hesitation
C
Cursed the laws ruinin' the nation
D
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
G
But she wouldn't go into gear
G
He said it sounds like your transmission
C
You need to Bob, but he's gone fishin'
D
His day off, he gets a long way from here
Cause
Chorus
Well back home friends you can get a dose of
Something strong from your local grocer
So I walked down till I got a little closer
To a place called Happy Johns
He said "I keep something here for colds and fevers
Down underneath's where I usually leave her
But just last night I felt a cold a comin' on"
Chorus
