Lyrics

DRY AS A BONE



IT HASN?T RAINED IN THIRTY DAYS
ABNORMAL THE WEATHERMAN SAYS
SATELLITE?S BEAMING DOWN
BUT THERE?S NO RAIN AROUND

THE GULF OF MEXICO IS CLOSED
CROPS HAVE FAILED NOTHING GROWS
LIVESTOCK LEFT TO DIE
ERODING HOPES AND CLOUDLESS SKIES

AND HERE I SIT THINKING OF YOU
WHAT WE HAD HAS WHITHERED TOO
NOW I?M AS DRY AS A BONE
AND MY BONES MISS YOU

FIRES RAGE OUT OF CONTROL
THE WIND BLOWS THE SMOKE ROLLS
TOP SOIL ERODING FAST
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN THIS LAST

NO STREAMS LEFT
SOMETHING?S NOT RIGHT
DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
MORE LIKE A DOG FIGHT
SMALL FARMS PASS AWAY
FEELS LIKE THE DUST BOWL MORE EACH DAY

AND HERE I SIT THINKING OF YOU
ANOTHER NATURAL DISASTER
JUST WE TWO
NOW I?M AS DRY AS A BONE
AND MY BONES MISS YOU

BRIDGE

THE EARTH IS PARCHED JUST LIKE MY HEART
THE ONLY MOISTURE IS THE TEARS SINCE WE?VE BEEN APART

IT HASN?T RAINED IN THIRTY DAYS
ABNORMAL THE WEATHERMAN SAYS
SATELLITES BEAMING DOWN
BUT THERE?S NO RAIN AROUND
