The wind blows hard across the Texas plains,
Makes some people go insane.
      Dbm            A        E
While others quietly pray for rain,
A            E       B
That's where we came from.
E
Two boys playing in the burning sun,
One with books and one with guns.
Dbm            A        E
Mama calls but just one comes,
    A              E
The other one runs.
       Dbm       A        B         E
With a Christian sense of wrong and right,
        A        E         B         E
We were born and raised in black and white.
    Dbm        A         B        E
One learned to pray, one loved to fight,
        A        E         B         E     A
We were born and raised in black and white.
   E
My brother took to the gospel road,
Spent his whole life saving souls.
        Dbm                  A         E
Well he looked at me and his blood ran cold,
   A               B
He didn't even try.
  E
I had no dreams and I had no plans,
But a gun felt good in my right hand.
Dbm                       A           E
Warden said 'How come you killed that man?'
          A               E
I said 'I don't know why'.
Dbm     A             B       E
Welcome home said the hot moonlight,
        A        E         B         E
We were born and raised in black and white.
    Dbm      A         B        E
One lives to pray, one waits to die,
        A        E         B         E
We were born and raised in black and white.
        A        E         B         E

Someone handed me a cigarette,
They offered me my last request.
  Dbm             A       E
I asked my mortal soul be blessed,
   A       E        B
By someone close to me.
  E
I came to him with trembling hands,
I swore I'd never understand.
   Dbm                A        E
He said its just what life had planned,
     A       E
It's destiny.
         Dbm        A        B    E
So don't waste your tears on me tonight,
        A        E         B         E
We were born and raised in black and white.
    Dbm       A       B         E
You chose the dark, I chase the light,
        A        E         B         E
We were born and raised in black and white.
