Borned And Raised In Black And White Lyrics

The wind blows hard across the Texas plainsMakes some people go insaneWhile others quietly pray for rainThe's where we came fromTwo boys playing in the burning sunOne with books and one with gunsMama calls but just one comesThe other one runsWith a Christian sense of wrong and rightWe were born and raised in black and whiteOne learned to pray, one learned to fightWe were born and raised in black and whiteMy brother took to the gospel roadSpent his whole life saving soulsWhen he looked at me and his blook ran coldHe didnt even tryI had no dreams and I had no plansBut a gun felt good in my right handWarden said 'How come you killed that man?'I said 'I dont know why'Welcome home sayd the hot moonlightWe were born and rasied in black and whiteOne lives to pray, one wants to dieWe were born and rasied in black and whiteWe were born and rasied in black and whiteSomeone handed me a cigaretteThey offered me my last requestI asked my moral soul be blessedBy someone close to meI came to him with trembling handsI swore I'd never understandHe said its just what life had plannedIt's destinySo dont waste your tears on me tonightWe were born and rasied in black and whiteYou chose the dark, I chase the lightWe were born and rasied in black and whiteWe were born and rasied in black and whiteThe wind blows hard across the Texas plainsMakes some people go insaneWhile others quietly pray for rain
