Across the border they turn
Am GWater into wine
Dm CSome say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Dm CSome say it's a saviour
Am BbIn these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
G Dm C Am BbThat we're just born... to die
Dm C
I came here like so many did
Am BbTo find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
G DmTo finally be alive
Dm CI knew nothing good comes easy
All good things take some time
Dm CI made my bed I'll lie in it
G DmTo die in it's the crime
F
You can't help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
Cthey say the oil wells ran depper here
Bb/DThan anybody's known
Now I packed up on my wife and kid
Gm/BbAnd left them back at home
CNow there's nothing in this paydirt
The ghosts are all I know
Now the oil's gone
Dm/CAnd the money's gone
Dm/GAll the jobs are gone
still we're hangin' on down in
Dry county
CThey're swimming in the sand
BbPraying for some holy water
to wash the sins from off our hands in
FDry county
CThe promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
Bb Dm C Am BbAnd no one's getting out of here alive
Dm C
In the blessed name of Jesus
Am BbI heard a preacher say
That we are all God's children
G DmAnd that he'd be back, back someday
Dm CAnd I hoped that he knew something
As he drank his cup of wine
Dm CDidn't have too good a feeling
G DmAs I head out to the night
F
I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
CI prayed to God for water
Bb/DFor this burning in my viens
It was like my soul's on fire
Gm/BbAnd I had to watch the flames
CAll my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away
Now the oil's gone
Dm/CAnd the money's gone
Dm/GAll the jobs are gone
Still we carry on down in
Dry county
CThey're swimming in the sand
BbPraying for some holy water
to wash the sins from off our hands in
FDry county
CThe promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
Bb FAnd no one's getting out of here alive
(Guitar Solo)
Dm C
Men spend thier whole lives waiting
Am BbPraying for some big reward
It seems sometimes
C GThe payoff leaves you feeling
DmLike a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I'll die
Am BbMake it by the gun or knife
Dm C'Cause the other way there's too much pain
Night after night after night
Down in Dry county
CThey're swimming in the sand
BbPraying for some holy water
to wash the sins from off our hands in
FDry county
CThe promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
Bb Dm C Am BbAnd no one's getting out of here alive
