	I came here like so many did,to find the better life
	   Dm               C       	   G          Dm
	To find my piece of easy street,To finally be alive
	       Dm                 C   	    Am                    Bb
	I knew nothing good comes easy,	all good things take some time
	  Dm               C            G
	I made my bed I'll lie in it,to die in it's the crime

	             C                              Bb/D
	they say the oil wells ran deeper here than anybody's known
	      F                               Gm/Bb
	Now I packed up on my wife and kid, and left them back at home
	            C                           Bb
	Now there's nothing in this paydirt,the ghosts are all I know
	        Dm                 Dm/C
	Now the oil's gone, and the money's gone
	    Dm/G                          Bb         C
	All the jobs are gone,still we're hangin' on down in

	Dry county,they're swimming in the sand
	        Bb                      Gm                 Bb
	Praying for some holy water to wash the sins from off our hands in
	F              C
	Dry county,The promise has run dry
	Bb                     Bb                           Dm  C  Am  Bb

	In the blessed name of Jesus, I heard a preacher say
	     Dm               C	                 G              Dm
	That we are all God's children,	and that he'd be back, back someday
	      Dm                 C	         Am               Bb
	And I hoped that he knew something,as he drank his cup of wine 
	       Dm              C	     G               Dm
	Didn't have too good a feeling, as I head out to the night

	I cursed the sky to open,I begged the clouds for rain
	  C                                Bb/D
	I prayed to god for water,for this burning in my viens
	       F                            Gm/Bb
	It was like my soul's on fire,and I had to watch the flames
	       C                               Bb
	All my dreams went up in ashes,and my future blew away
	        Dm                 Dm/C
	Now the oil's gone, and the money's gone

	All the jobs are gone,still we carry on down in
