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
