<pre><font size='+2'>DRY COUNTY lyrics JON BON JOVI</font><br>Across the border they turn<br />
Water into wine<br />
Some say it’s the devil’s blood<br />
They’re squeezing from the vine<br />
Some say it’s a saviour<br />
In these hard and desperate times<br />
For me it helps me to forget<br />
That we’re just born to die<br />
<br />
I came here like so many did<br />
To find the better life<br />
To find my piece of easy street<br />
To finally be alive<br />
And I know nothing good comes easy<br />
All good things take some time<br />
I made my bed I lie in it<br />
To die in it’s the crime<br />
<br />
You can’t help but prosper<br />
When the street are paved with gold<br />
They say the oil wells ran deeper here<br />
Than anybody’s known<br />
I packed up on my wife and kid<br />
And left them back at home<br />
Now there’s nothing in this paydirt<br />
The ghost are all I know<br />
<br />
Now the oil’s gone<br />
The money’s gone<br />
And the jobs are gone<br />
Still we’re hangin’ on<br />
<br />
Down in dry county<br />
They’re swimming in the sand<br />
Praying for some holy water<br />
To wash the sins from off our hands<br />
Here in dry county<br />
The promise has run dry<br />
Where nobody cries<br />
And no one’s getting out of here alive<br />
<br />
In the blessed name of Jesus<br />
I heard a preacher say<br />
That we are God’s children<br />
And that he’d be back someday<br />
And I hoped that he knew<br />
Something as he drank his cup of wine<br />
I didn’t have too good of a feeling<br />
As I head out to the night<br />
<br />
I cursed the sky to open<br />
I begged the clouds for rain<br />
I prayed to God for water<br />
For this burning in my veins<br />
It was like my soul’s on fire<br />
And I had to watch the flames<br />
All my dreams went up in ashes<br />
And my future blew away<br />
<br />
Now the oil’s gone<br />
The money’s gone<br />
And the jobs are gone<br />
Still we’re hangin’ on<br />
<br />
Down in dry county<br />
They’re swimming in the sand<br />
Praying for some holy water<br />
To wash the sins from off our hands<br />
Here in dry county<br />
The promise has run dry<br />
Where nobody cries<br />
And no one’s getting out of here alive<br />
<br />
Men spend their whole lives<br />
Waiting praying for their big reward<br />
But it seems sometimes<br />
The payoff leaves you feeling<br />
Like a dirty whore<br />
If I could choose the way I’ll die<br />
Make it by the gun or knife<br />
‘Couse the other way there’s too much pain<br />
night after night after night…<br />
<br />
Down in dry county<br />
They’re swimming in the sand<br />
Praying for some holy water<br />
To wash the sins from off our hands<br />
Here in dry county<br />
The promise has run dry<br />
Where nobody cries<br />
And no one’s getting out of here alive<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/dry_county_lyrics-jon_bon_jovi.html" target='_blank'>DRY COUNTY lyrics JON BON JOVI</a></pre>

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
For 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
All good things take some time
I made my bed I lie in it
To die in it’s the crime

You can’t help but prosper
When the street are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
Than anybody’s known
I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home
Now there’s nothing in this paydirt
The ghost are all I know

Now the oil’s gone
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 hands
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And 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 someday
And I 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
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
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 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 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 I’ll die
Make it by the gun or knife
‘Couse the other way there’s too much pain
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 hands
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one’s getting out of here alive
