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

You see it helps me to forget

That we're just born to die

In the blessed name of Jesus

I heard a preacher say

We are all God's children

That He'd be back, back someday

Hoped that he knew

Something as he drank that cup of wine

I didn't have too good a feeling

As I head out to the night

I cursed the sky to open

I begged the clouds for rain

I prayed all night for water

For this burning in my veins

It was like my soul's on fire

And I had to watch the flames

Well, my dreams went up in ashes

And my future blew away

Now the oil's gone

And the money's gone

All 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 these sins from off our hands

In dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

Man spends his whole life

Waiting praying for some big reward

But it seems sometimes

The payoff leaves you feeling

Like a dirty whore

If I could choose the way I'd 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

Where they're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash these sins from off our hands

In dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here

Dry county

No one's getting out of here

Dry county.

No
