Lyrics of Extra Verse of Dry County?
 
I was browsing YouTube the other day, and came across this performance of Dry County...


...that included and extra verse at the end. Does anybody know what the lyrics of this extra verse are? All I could make out was "Say a prayer for..." at the beginning of this verse.

Thanks!

That's not an extra verse, he's "just" ad-libbing on the outro. Still, here's what I could make out:

So say your prayers now darling
On a thirsty night?
Praying that tomorrow
Everything['s] gonna be alright
Tomorrow ?

BTW, there's better sound quality versions of that performance, like that one here:

He adds a verse of Springsteen's "Point Blank" there:

Quote:

"Point Blank"

Do you still say your prayers little darlin' do you go to bed at night
Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright
But tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one
You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from


Well they shot you point blank you been shot in the back
Baby point blank you been fooled this time little girl that's a fact
Right between the eyes baby, point blank right between the pretty lies that they tell
Little girl you fell

You grew up where young girls they grow up fast
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked
but what they asked baby wasn't right
you didn't have to live that life,
I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet
These days you don't wait on Romeo's you wait on that welfare check
and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promises

That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes
Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain
You're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blank
and it's one false move and baby the lights go out

Once I dreamed we were together again baby you and me
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be
We were standin' at the bar it was hard to hear
The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four
You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor
You just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slow
And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go

Well I saw you last night down on the avenue
Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you
You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain
You didn't answer when I called out your name
You just turned, and then you looked away like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away

Point blank, right between the eyes
Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell
Point blank, shot straight through the heart,
Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it
Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights,
Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move away
Point blank, they caught you in their sights
Point blank, did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight.
Point blank they must have shot you in the head
Cause point blank, bang bang baby you're dead.

This has been done as far back as 1993 (from 10:17 onwards):

Demo lyrics
 
Since we are on the subject!

Does anyone have the lyrics for the demo version (after listening to it again I am not sure it is demo lyrics... someone said that once) of Dry County?

Sung here:


Cheers!
