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
