TRAVELING WILBURYS lyrics : "cool dry place"

Well I woke up this morning
The place was such a reck
I couldn't reach the bathroom

Thought I'd better clear the deck.
I tried to call the lawyer
And ask him what to do

He referred me to his doctor
Who referred me back to you
And when you checked the manual

You kept in side the case
It said 'put it in a cool dry place'
I drove around the city

Looking for a room
That was high above the water
Where my things could be in tune

There was noone to help me
Nobody even cared
I had to got through hell

To get those things up there
I paid my first subscription
Then I joined the idle race

and they said 'Store it in a cool dry place'
I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums
Accordions and Mandolis and things that sometimes hum

Cymbals and Harmonicas, capos by the score
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor
Some places they get mildew

And others get too hot.
Some places are so damp that
Everything you got just rots

All kinds of condensation
Directories of the rain
There's not much compensation

When everything's been stained.
Some have sentimental value that
Cannot be erased

Go store it in a cool dry place
We got solids and acoustics
And some from flowered board

And some are trimmed in leather
And some are made with gourds
There's organs and trombones

And reverbs we can use
Lots of dx-7s
And old athletic shoes

I bought a great big building
It took up one whole block
I made an inventory

Of all the things in stock
The place was getting longer
I was up all night

I used up all my pencils
But I went onto spite
The blury of my vision

The sweat upon my face
I've got to put this stuff away
I mustn't leave a trace

The landlord's breathing down my neck
He say's it's a disgrace
So i said "put it in a cool, dry, place.
