Born And Raised In Black And White |
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains makes some people go insane |
While others quietly pray for rain that’s where we came from |
Two boys playing in the burning sun one with books one with guns |
Mama calls but just one comes the other one runs |
With a Christian sense of wrong and right we were born and raised in black and |
white |
One learned to pray one loved to fight we were born and raised in black and |
white |
Brother took to the gospel road spent his whole life savin' souls |
When he looked at me his blood ran cold he didn’t even try |
I’ve had no dreams and I’ve had no plans but a gun felt good in my right hand |
The warden asked how come you killed that man I said I don’t know why |
Welcome home said the hot moonlight we were born and raised in black and white |
One lives to pray one waits to die we were born and raised in black and white |
We were born and raised in black and white |
Someone handed me a cigarette they offered me my last request |
I asked my mortal soul be blessed by someone close to me |
He came to me with his trembling hands he swore he’d never understand |
I said it’s just what life had planned it’s destiny |
I chose the dark you chase the light we were born and raised in black and white |
Don’t waste your tears on me tonight we were born and raised in black and white |
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains makes some people go insane |
We were born and raised in black and white |
While others quietly pray for rain |
