Dry County Blues

[Verse 1]
Lying here wide awake shaking
For reasons I'm too proud to say
There are things I admit that I just could not quit
Send men like myself to the grave
I'm down and I'm out, Lord I'm hurting
For times like this one make me sick
There's a fried chicken spot and a church every block
Guess the latter might now do the trick
[?] to find peace by the morning
And wake up a man whose been saved
But the problem you see, there's a dead [?] in me
So tonight I'll just lay here and pray

[Chorus]
God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink
I'm writhing so hard with the spirit I can't hardly think
I'm tired of backslider's wine
I need something stronger tonight
So God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink

[Verse 2]
The irony doesn't escape me
Your lessons [?] for one too
Time and again I let demons on in
And start asking favors from you
If you could just do me a solid
The line'll start towing again
For I come to you with these dry county blues
In Your name I pray too, amen

[Chorus]
God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink
I'm writhing so hard with the spirit I can't hardly think
I'm tired of backslider's wine
I need something stronger tonight
So God if you hear me please send me some whiskey to drink
