Dry County Lyrics - Keep The Faith - 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 

To see 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 knew nothing good comes easy 

all good things take some time 

I made my bed I'll lie in it 

To die in it's the crime

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Now I packed up on my wife and kid 

And left them both back at home 

See there's nothing in this paydirt 

The ghosts are all I know 

Now the oil's gone 

And the money's gone 

All 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 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 

In the blessed name of Jesus 

I heard a preacher say 

That we are all God's children 

And He'd be back, back someday 

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 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 

All my dreams went up in ashes 

And my future blew away 

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 

solo 

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'll 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 

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 

And no one is getting out of here 

Dry county
