Dry County
[00:59.96] Across the border, they turn water into wine
[01:05.82] Some say it's the devil's blood
[01:08.97] They're squeezing from the vine
[01:11.99] Some say it's a saviour
[01:14.27] In these hard and desperate times
[01:18.11] You see, it helps me to forget
[01:20.93] That we're just born to die
[01:38.98] I came here like so many did
[01:41.76] To find the better life
[01:44.80] To find my piece of easy street
[01:47.58] To finally be alive
[01:50.35] And I knew nothing good comes easy
[01:53.67] All good things take some time
[01:56.45] I made my bed, I'll lie in it
[01:59.73] To die in it's the crime
[02:03.02] You can't help but prosper
[02:05.10] Where the streets are paved with gold
[02:08.61] They say the oil wells ran deeper here
[02:11.72] Than anybody's known
[02:14.76] Now I packed up on my wife and kid
[02:17.49] And left them both back at home
[02:20.81] See, there's nothing in this pay dirt
[02:23.36] The ghosts are all I know
[02:26.15] Now the oil's gone
[02:29.20] And the money's gone
[02:32.05] All the jobs are gone
[02:35.05] Still we're hangin' on down in
[02:38.60] Dry county
[02:41.90] They're swimming in the sand
[02:44.42] Praying for some holy water
[02:47.46] To wash these sins from off our hands
[02:51.29] In dry county
[02:53.84] The promise has run dry
[02:57.13] Where nobody cries
[03:00.18] And no one's getting out of here alive
[03:08.05] Not this time
[03:15.15] In the blessed name of Jesus
[03:17.42] I heard a preacher say
[03:20.47] That we are all God's children
[03:23.51] And He'd be back, back someday
[03:26.76] I hoped that he knew something as
[03:29.79] He drank that cup of wine
[03:33.08] I didn't have too good of a feeling
[03:35.38] As I head out to the night
[03:38.89] I cursed the sky to open
[03:41.95] I begged the clouds for rain
[03:45.19] I prayed all night for water
[03:47.46] For this burning in my veins
[03:51.04] It was like my soul's on fire
[03:54.07] And I had to watch the flames
[03:56.87] All my dreams went up in ashes
[03:59.70] And my future blew away
[04:02.24] Now the oil's gone
[04:05.28] And the money's gone
[04:08.35] All the jobs are gone
[04:11.43] Still we're hangin' on down in
[04:15.23] Dry county
[04:18.25] They're swimming in the sand
[04:20.57] Praying for some holy water
[04:23.84] To wash these sins from off our hands
[04:27.13] In dry county
[04:29.96] The promise has run dry
[04:32.72] Where nobody cries
[04:35.52] And no one's getting out of here alive
[07:20.13] Man spends his whole life waiting, praying for some big reward
[07:26.52] But it seems sometimes the payoff leaves you feeling like
[07:31.06] A dirty whore
[07:32.84] If I could choose the way I'll die, make it by the gun or knife
[07:37.95] Cause the other way there's too much pain
[07:41.50] Night after night after night after night
[07:48.38] Down in dry county
[07:52.97] They're swimming in the sand
[07:55.28] Praying for some holy water
[07:58.55] To wash these sins from off our hands
[08:01.84] In dry county
[08:04.89] The promise has run dry
[08:07.91] Where nobody cries
[08:10.50] And no one's getting out of here
[08:14.76] Dry county
[08:23.15] No one's getting out of here
[08:25.94] Dry county
[08:33.54] No
