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 savior  
In these hard and desperate times  
For me 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 know nothing good comes easy  
And all good things take some time  
I made my bed I'll lie in it  
To die in it's the crime  
  
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  
I packed up on my wife and kid  
And left them back at home  
  
Now there's nothing in this pay dirt  
The ghosts are all I know  
Now the oil's gone  
The money's gone  
And 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 the sins from off our hand  
Here 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 God's children  
And He'd be back someday  
And I hoped that he knew  
Something as he drank his cup of wine  
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 to God 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  
  
Now the oil's gone  
And the money's gone  
And 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 the sins from off our hand  
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 praying for their 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  
  
Down in dry county  
They're swimming in the sand  
Praying for some holy water  
To wash the sins from off our hand  
Here in dry county  
The promise has run dry  
Where nobody cries  
And no one's getting out of here alive
