Bon Jovi - Dry County Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Across the border they turn

Water into wine

Some say its the devils blood

Theyre squeezing from the vine

Some say its a saviour

In these hard and desperate times

For me it helps me to forget

That were 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 Ill lie in it

To die in its the crime

You cant help but prosper

Where the streets are paved with gold

They say the oil wells ran deeper here

Than anybodys known

I packed up on my wife and kid

And left them back at home

Now theres nothing in this paydirt

The ghosts are all I know

Now the oils gone

The moneys gone

And the jobs are gone

Still were hangin on

Down in dry county

Theyre 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 ones getting out of here alive

In the blessed name of jesus

I heard a preacher say

That we are gods children

And hed be back someday

And I hoped that he knew

Something as he drank his cup of wine

I didnt 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

It was like my souls on fire

And I had to watch the flames

All my dreams went up in ashes

And my future blew away

Now the oils gone

And the moneys gone

And the jobs are gone

Still were hangin on

Down in dry county

Theyre 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 ones getting out of here alive

Men spend their whole lives

Waiting praying for their big reward

But it seems sometimes

The payoff leaves you feeling

Like a dirty whore

If I could choose the way Ill die

Make it by the gun or knife

cause the other way theres too much pain

Night after night after night

Down in dry county

Theyre 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 ones getting out of here alive
