Dry County - Bon Jovi
Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
see me it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die

I came here like so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And i know nothing good comes easy
And all good things take some time
I made my bed i'll lie in it
To die in it's the crime
You can't help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran
deeper here
Than anybody's known
now I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home
see there's nothing in this paydirt
The ghosts are all i know
Now the oil's gone
and i money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin on
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from
off our hand Here in
dry county the promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
no one's getting out of here alive

In the blessed name of jesus
I heard a preacher say
we are god's children
And he'd be back back someday
hoped that he knew something as
he drank his cup of wine
I didn't have too good of a feeling
As i head out to the night
I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to god for water
For this burning in my veins
burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And i had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away
Now the oil's gone
And the money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin on
Down in dry county they're
swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from
off our hand Here in
dry county the promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting
out of here alive

Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for some big reward
seems sometimes the payoff
leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If i could choose the way i'll die
Make it by the gun or knife
cause the other way
there's too much pain
Night after night after night
after night
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from
off our hand Here in
dry county the promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting
out of here alive
Down in dry county

no one's getting
out of here alive
Down in dry county
