Dry County

Текст песни Bon Jovi - Dry County <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 />And all good things take some time<br />I made my bed I'll lie in it<br />To die in it's the crime<br /><br />You can't help but prosper<br />Where the streets 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 /><br />Now there's nothing in this paydirt<br />The ghosts are all I know<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 hand<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 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 />And 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 hand<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 />'Cause 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 hand<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
