Lyric discussion by bonjovina 

Cover art for Dry County lyrics by Bon Jovi

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...
