Bara för att detta är en av de bästa låtarna i världen.
Nästan 10 minuter lång. Någon som känner igen?
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
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 paydirt, 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
ref:
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
ref.....
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
