- Dry Town LyricsWell, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
Good hundred miles 'tween me and Missoula
That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler
So I stopped at a quickie sack
And I figured I'd need about a six of miller
And one of them things so I wouldn't spill her
And I asked the girl if the beer was in the back
She said, "It's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town"
So I turned right around, no hesitation
Cursed the laws ruinin' the nation
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
But she wouldn't go into gear
He said, "It sounds like your transmission
You need Bob but he's gone fishing
On his day off he gets a long way from here"
'Cause it's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town
Well, back home friends you can get a dose of
Something strong from your local grocer
So I walked down 'til I came a little closer
To a place called Happy John's
He said, "I keep some here for colds and fevers
And down underneath's where I usually leave her
But just last night I felt a cold a comin' on"
Now it's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town
I need a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town

✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, the track 'Dry Town' performed by Miranda Lambert narrates the experience of a wanderer who comes across a town where drinking is forbidden. It illustrates the annoyance and craving for a drink that would somehow make the trip easier. The dry town represents the furtherance of restrictions, where a person cannot even find solace or relief in other's miseries, thus expressing the yearning for something soothing and familiar in the midst of foreign places. The lyrics of the song lean mostly towards the expression of anger, angst, solitude, social commentary, and despair. Thus, the song, on one hand, portrays the main feelings of anger towards the restrictions, the longing for the getaway, and the search for relief. The text alludes to both beverages and a dry town, which might not be suitable for little ones. Nevertheless, there isn't any profanity or sexually explicit scenes, but the motifs of drinking and disenchantment with the law indicate that parental supervision is recommended.

I love the song, but just where were you within a 100 miles of Missoula that had a dry town? One of the beauties of our great state is no dry countys or towns. Someone was lying, we always have beer
