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 In these hard and desperate times You see, 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 knew nothing good comes easy 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 Now I packed up on my wife and kid And left them both back at home See, there's nothing in this pay dirt 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 That we are all God's children And He'd be back, back someday I hoped that he knew something as He drank that 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 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 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'll 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 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

Well here I stand* Before you a broken man With head in hands And what a fool I am To think you'd ever wanna Have your eyes meet with mine Again After what I did And wonderin' where I'd been All this time 'Cause I guess it was the spotlight That drove me away Or dreamin' that old billboard Would be flashin' my name Now here I stand before you Just a fraction of the man I used to be Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me The fool in me You ain't never seen A thing like Miami Beach Or Alberta gold Oh it was good to be home But all the time that tI've been takin' For the things that I thought I'm supposed to do Well all that I could do Was think of you And everything you meant to me 'Cause I guess it was the spotlight That drove me away Or dreamin' that old billboard Would be shinin' my name Now here I stand before you Just a fraction of the man I used to be Prayin you'll forgive the fool in me Well I need to know Is time to let go? I need to hold Onto something real 'Cause I guess it was the spotlight That drove me away Or dreamin' that old billboard Would be flashin' my name Now here I stand before you Just a fraction of the man I used to be Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me (Fool, fool in me) Cause all I'm ever gonna be is a fool (Fool, fool in me) Just the fool in me (Fool, fool in me) The fool in me
