(Waylon Jennings) |
|
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 |
|
(Willie Nelson) |
|
The other one runs |
|
(All) |
|
In a crystal 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 |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
(Kris Kristofferson) |
|
Brother took to the gospel road |
|
Spent his whole live saving souls |
|
When he looked at me his blood ran cold |
|
He didn't even try |
|
(Waylon Jennings) |
|
I had no dreams,i 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 |
|
(All) |
|
Welcome home said the hot moonlight |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
One lives to pray,one prays for life |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
(Waylon Jennings) |
|
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 trembling hands |
|
He swore he'd never understand |
|
I said it's just what life had planned |
|
It's destiny |
|
(All) |
|
Don't waste your tears on me tonight |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
I chose the dark,you chased the light |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
We were born and raised in black and white |
|
(Willie Nelson) |
|
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains |
|
Makes some people go insane |
|
(Waylon Jennings) |
|
While others quietly pray for rain |
