That preacher's daughter, she sure is blessed
As sunlight passes through the fabric so soft

There's so many fish in the sea
And I know it's a great big world
But I couldn't help but fall in love so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah

But her eyes are full of pure moonshine
And I get drunk just holding her hand
I get high thinking I could be her man

There's so many fish in the sea
And I know it's a great big world
But I couldn't help but fall in love so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah

For my dry county girl

For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah
Yeah, talking about my
