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
