Dry County
B-52’s Lyrics

It's one of those lazy days
It is a day where there is not much to do and everything feels slow-paced.

I've got nothing to do
There are no obligations or tasks that require attention or action.

Let the wind blow round my head
Allow the wind to surround and cool the head.

Let a cloud be my bed
Imagine a cloud as a comfortable and soft place to rest or fall asleep.

When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
When a feeling of sadness or depression strikes suddenly and unexpectedly.

Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
Get rid of the feeling of sadness or depression as quickly and decisively as possible.

When the blues kick you in the head
When a feeling of sadness or depression becomes overwhelming and difficult to ignore or dismiss.

And you roll out of bed in the morning
Waking up and getting out of bed in the morning.

Just sit on the porch and swing
Relax and pass time by sitting on the porch and swinging gently back and forth.

Sit on the porch and swing
Repeat or emphasize the previous line's statement.

The heat of the day's got me in a haze
The high temperatures and humidity of the day are making one feel unfocused or hazy.

Those lazy days of summer are here
The season of summer, with its relaxed and slower pace, is presently occurring.

Just let the breezes flow,
Relax and allow the wind to naturally move around oneself.

Through your mind,
Affecting, caressing, or travelling through one's thoughts and imagination.

I feel so fine
One's overall wellbeing is positive or favourable.

Here come the girls up the road
A group of females are approaching on the road.

What they want to do they can't do
The girls appear to have plans or desires that they are unable to fulfill due to external reasons or restrictions.

Cause it's a... Dry County
There are legal or social laws, perhaps religious, that are restricting or prohibiting activities, such as consuming alcohol, socializing or other endeavours considered to be inappropriate.

Kicking stones and laughing low
Passing time by aimlessly kicking stones and laughing under one's breath.

Nowhere to go. It's a dry, dry, such a dry, dry,
There is no destination or activity one can engage in due to the dry laws and limitations of a particular location.

Dust devils blowing in your hair but what do you care
Despite physical inconveniences such as dust devils, the individual does not take too seriously due to the general relaxed and apathetic atmosphere.

When there's nowhere to go
Once again emphasizing the lack of available activities or destinations.

It's a dry, dry, county
Reinforcing that the location is governed by laws that restrict or discourage certain activities, especially those associated with indulgence, socialization or imbibing.
