Bon Jovi - Dry County Lyrics
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
You see it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die
I came here like so many did
To find a better life
To find my piece of easy street
And finally be alive
I knew nothing good comes easy
All good things take some time
I made my bed I'll lie in it
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 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
Not this time
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 his 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 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
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

Bon Jovi is awesome! This song is one of their best songs!
Still uplifting in 2019!!!
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
Masterpiece of Bon Jovi!
naalala ko ante ko dati casette tape galing abroad itong kanta ko 1999 ata un
Top draw.
Played this through VHS video, in '99, at volume 98 through a beovision and quad beolab 6000's.
Made sure the block l was living in, was empty!
This is the real Bon Jovi, post 1992 it isn't the same anymore.
#Derramamento do #Pressal.
Que musica !!!! Orgulho de ser fã dessa banda 🇧🇷🇧🇷
One of the best BJ's masterpiece song
2019 born to die
Absolute brilliance .
For my nephew ! And zJzr
querido Jon Bon Jovi, esto ya esta pasando, es real! esta pasando, es real!
que genio! premonitorio, 20 años antes!
The end of this song gives me goosebumps. Sambora killed it.
Vaya temazo...ufff
I'm not saying this is the best song of all time but, it's my favourite song of all time
Got to admit one of the best Bon Jovi songs ever haven't heard it for a long long long time the guitar solo by Richie is amazing a true Rock classic good luck to Richie on his solo career I hope you boys make up one day sometimes a man has got to do what a man has got to do
esse é o cara
Greta T. ad song, if she would know such great music 🤙🏼
I remember buying the single and it sounded much heavier than the version on keep the faith.Absolutely brilliant song.Wish they could produce tracks like this now.
Fantastic song. Great. I adore it. Jon beautiful and handsome man. So Hot. 💋❤️😘
🔥🔥
El don de Richie es insuperable!!! el mejor de todos los tiempos ..like 2019
正好听到这首的Live，一搜竟然有几百万的播放量，在国内感觉很冷门。算是最喜欢的一首了
Richie samboras best guitar solo in his career by far
I'm back hello people
2019 and forever. One of the bests Bon Jovi songs.
6th grade. Song was titties then. Still titties now
well you guys and us are half way the road in this life, I am almost 50, I feel very sorry for the new generations to come, because we won't see that happening but they will, there won't be enough food and supplies to survive after the big earthquake in CA....I always wondered why this song was underestimated when it was released., it has been one of my favorite songs and always will be...
I love this song
6 mins is too long? Really? I don't think so. It's enough!
the album version is nearly ten minutes long
Mil felicitaciones a esta banda siempre entregados y unidos son como una sola persona :-) :-) :-) :-)
well edited,but why cut the song?
Yes, agreed. What a great guitar solo! And the drumming is also insanely awesome during the solo. Sweet!
I love you Jon Bon Jovi ♥️❤️💛💚💙💜♥️🖤❤️💛💚💙💜💙💌💟💓💗💖
в открытом космосе никого не включать играет музыка для души шкуры вон нахуй своим космическим кораблём там ничего нет только ваша смерть в открытом космосе убивай того кто тебя послал туда
這歌真的很好聽。雖然聽不懂。但我用我自已的想像在聽這首歌
Someone is listen this on 2019???? Great song lml
Back again in 2019....just can't hear this song enough. Such a brilliant song. Lucky enough to see them perform it live in Manchester. Great memories.
Great number. My favourite Bon Jovi number. Reason this song is not well known is due to the running time of almost 7 minutes. Radios and music channels in turn refuse to play this song as a consequence.
2019 watching and lestining
Best complete song they ever did
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash these 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
Prayin' 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
I like how there is a guitar solo before the guitar solo
Jon's voice & Riche's guitar a match made in Heaven. Please bring that back.
when bon jovi were still a hard rock band... great song.
the shit they released since is a travesty
This song is a masterpiece. Period.
This deserve a 1B views just like GN'Rs November Rain
in 2019 its the same Dry County (I'm not about title)
que pedazo de tema , tiene todo pero todo y muy bueno el Video!!!!!
I was only joking when I said leave the rain in new Jersey this tour X lol jk the UK is so not used to the heat & yet we love bon jovi's ass phoar X lol
Não entendo a razão de ela não estar no Crossroad
💖💖
Cuidado, musiquinha. Tá quase virando minha favorita.
Cuidado...
Easily the best solo in history. Such an underrated songs and the most difficult to replicate.
Faz parte da minha vida, canção linda.
BJ the best.
Best Richie's solo!
このころのJonのルックスがめちゃくちゃカックイイ(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡
イントロからの入りが渋くて、聴かせるギター・Jonの渋い声(#^^#)BESTSONG
