I'm on the road to Tupelo to buy a case of beer
And I wouldn't be so all alone if he were sittin' here
But I crossed a line and he lost his mind
And there ain’t no getting him back
 
It’s a dry county
It’s a dry dry county
It’s a dry county around here
 
When I get back from Tupelo I'm gonna find myself a chair
And I’ll sit right there and quench my soul 'til the Bama sun goes down
Cause there’s a fine line between wanting more and wanting out
 
It’s a dry county
It’s a dry dry county
It’s a dry county around here
 
I been crying endlessly since he left me
I know where to refill my tears and drown my misery
I'm gonna drive to Mississippi
 
It’s a dry county
It’s a dry dry county
It’s a dry county around here
 
And I'm on the road to Tupelo to buy a case of beer
