Lyrics

Dry so long, dry so long

This town's been dry so long
If it ever rains its gonna break my heart

This town's been dry so long
Consider me one of the weary

Wearing out shoe leather hustling down these dead end streets

Looking for work but there's none to be found

all you get is a pat on the back, saying

"Good luck son, come back again next week."

Dry so long...

I could have been another kind of man

staring out a window in the sky down on the shining city

But I stayed here to try and make my stand

now I feel like the earth has been pulled from beneath my feet

Dry so long...

The drought has turned everything to dust

The sun burned down until every crop in the field

withered and blew away

There's no money left to pay the loans,

even the banks went bust

Daddy's gun in the closet is calling me

and I'm running out of words to pray

Dry so long...
