Dry County Lyrics
"Across the border they turn water into wine..."
I'm a sucker for a great opening lyric, and, in my opinion that is one of the best ever written. It kind of sets the scene for the whole song and lets you know what it's about. I get chills whenever this song starts. Just amazing.
A great song and the heavy guitar solo in the middle is awesome.
Richie is a GOD! I'm just saying. How awesome is that solo?! The lyrics are great too. It's cool with bands that can write serious stuff like this along with "rock-on-cause-life's-amazing-songs".
This is possibly the greatest Bon Jovi song ever! The lyrics are really personal to Jon and you see the message that he is trying to get across. The guitar solo is also KICK ASS!!! Well what can you expect, after all (like "Samborafp" said) "Richie is a GOD!"!!!!
This song is really an epic! But I don't agree that it has to do with suicide. It's against Bon Jovi philosophy. The crime here is: not living your life. They are against surviving(see Fear, It's my life, Every Day, All I Want is Everything...). The lyrics are pretty literal, as most times, but in the same time poetic. Another reason to love Bon Jovi!!!
It's, generally, not about suicide. Obviously. However, the idea, because of the situation the character found himself in, does cross his mind...

i love this song! it's got such a powerful meaning! and the guitar solo, great!
I'm sure this ISN'T what they had in mind when writing this, but it reminds me of a town called pithole PA. In the 1800's there was a profuse amount of oil found under the ground where this town once stood. The town Litterally had hundreds of hotels (most probably brothels) stores saloons and all the norm for a goldrush town. It lasted less than 600 days. Thousands of people raced to raise hundreds of derricks and bled the ground dry of the black gold. All that remains to this day is some building foundations and they have built a small museum so to to speak about the former town.
Like I said, I really doubt this is what they had in mind when writing this song, but in literal terms its almost uncanny
The solo in this song rocks. The lyrics are deep probably their deepest. Living in a dry area of the world I can relate to this song. Sometimes you just pray for rain.
This song is one of my fav's by Bon Jovi. It really makes me think that he's talking about suicide,or leaving this place for a better one. I've felt like that and listened to this song alot,so that's my opinion
