Shades Of Gray |
We made Oklahoma a little after 3 |
Randy and his brother Bob in my old GMC |
We had some moonshine whiskey |
And some of Bob’s homegrown |
So messed up we didn’t know |
If we were drunk or stoned |
Randy was a sad sack, tall and kinda frail |
Bob was a raving maniac crazy in the head |
They been kicked out of high school several years ago |
For pushin over port-a-cans at the 4-H Rodeo! |
Since then they done their little dance |
Right outside the Law |
Popped twice in Oklahoma and once in Arkansas |
And I don’t know what possessed me |
To want to tag along |
Cause I was raised a Christian |
And I knew right from wrong |
RIGHT OR WRONG BLACK OR WHITE |
Cross the line your gonna pay |
In the dawn before the light |
LIVE OR DIE BY SHADES OF GRAY! |
Stole two Charlois heifers, from |
Randy’s sweetheart’s paw |
Sold them at a livestock sale |
Outside of Wichita |
We got $ 900 dollars and ever did suspect |
A world of hurt we’d be in once |
We cashed the check |
Next day, we heard the story |
On the local radio |
Made our plans that very night |
To go to Mexico |
I swear we would have made it |
If it wasn’t for that shine |
I got sick about the time we crossed |
The Kansas Line |
I was laying in a bar ditch |
Praying I would die |
When a light came on above |
And a voice come from the sky |
Half dozen unmarked cars |
Came screechin to a halt |
Bob he started screamin |
It was all my fault |
There were men and dogs |
And helicopters buzzin all around |
They had the brothers on the pickup hood |
And me down on the ground |
Well Bob he flew all to pieces |
And Randy he held tight |
When a black man in a suit and tie |
Stepped out into the light |
He told his men to turn us loose |
And they put down their guns |
He said these are just some sorry kids |
They ain’t the ones |
They left us the roadside |
Downhearted and alone |
Randy got behind the wheel |
Said guys I’m going home |
We turned to face our fate |
Hungover but alive |
On that morning late April |
Oklahoma 95 |
