Lyrics

There's a Jesus mural painted on a wall downtown
I used to buy an ounce just two doors down
You can break every law but speed on Main
God forbid the cops have to do anything
Worst man you know's running for school board
Ain't had kids in school since 2004
We took the wind farm tax breaks from the government
But the power goes to Dallas and haven't seen a cent
It's a bitch and a half you know
If you don't leave now then you'll never go
I tip a hat to the baptists at the liquor store
Well at least this town ain't dry no more
He was a starting running-back for a losing team
He'd went 0 and 10 since I's thirteen
Wore number five on a red jersey
Old number five was a friend to me
I went to college, he fixed engine blocks
It'd been a few years since we last talked
It was a dead man's curve hit a little too fast
Mamas shouldn't have to bury babies like that
It's a bitch and a half you know
If you don't leave now then you'll never go
I know number five's dancing on them streets of gold
He'd laugh to know the town ain't dry no more
Take a drive down to the gas and go
Sunglasses on, my head hung low
Overdraft fee and a case of what's cheap
Smile and a "thank you" as I signed the receipt
Cashier stops me 'fore I hit the door
Says haven't I seen you around before
Says you look like a friend I used to know
Like a friend I knew some time ago
I said no ma'am, but I get that a lot
As I walked out to my parking spot
And before her lips could try my name
I said have a nice day and keep the change
Have a nice day and keep your change
Well it's a bitch and a half you know
If you don't leave now then you'll never go
It's a bitch and a half you know
If you don't leave now then you'll never go
Never come back again you swore
Well at least this town ain't dry no more
At least this town ain't dry no more
