Dry County Live)-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 It seems to help me to forget And we're just born to die I came here like so many did To find the better life Find my piece of easy street Finally be alive But I know nothing good comes easy All good things take some time If 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 Well I packed up on my wife and kid And left them back at home Now there's nothing in this paydirt The ghosts are all I know Now the oil's gone Now the money's gone And the jobs are gone Still we're hanging on Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hands Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries But no one's getting out of here alive In the blessed name of Jesus I heard a preacher say That we are God's children And that he'd be back be back someday I hoped that he knew Something as he drank his cup of wine I didn't have too good of a feeling When 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 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 hanging on Down in dry county They were swimming in the sand Praying for some holy waters To wash these sins from off our hands 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 llife Waiting praying for their big reward It seem sometimes they pay off leaves You feeling like a dirty hole If I could choose the way I'll die Make it by the gun or knife 'Cause the other ways 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 Dry county And no one's getting out of here Dry county No No one's getting out of here alive
