born raised in black white Highwaymen
T[E]he wind blows hard across the Texas planes
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pr[A]ay for rain
Th[E]at's where we came fr[B]om
Verse 2:
T[E]wo boys playing in the burning sun
One with books,one with guns
Mama calls but j[A]ust one comes
T[E]he other one runs
Chorus:
In a cr[A]ystal sense of wr[E]ong and right
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
One le[A]arned to pray,one l[E]oved to fight
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
Verse 3:
B[E]rother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole live saving souls
When he looked at me his bl[A]ood ran cold
He d[E]idn't even try
Verse 4:
I [E]had no dreams,i had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
The warden asked how come you k[A]illed that man
I said i d[E]on't know why
Chorus bis:
Welc[A]ome home said the h[E]ot moonlight
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
One l[A]ives to pray,one pr[E]ays for life
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
Verse 5:
S[E]omeone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
I asked my mortal s[A]oul be blessed
By s[E]omeone close to m[B]e
Verse 6:
H[E]e came to me with trembling hands
He swore he'd never understand
I said it's just what l[A]ife had planned
It's d[E]estiny
Chorus ter:
Don't w[A]aste your tears on m[E]e tonight
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
I ch[A]ose the dark,you ch[E]ased the light
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
We were b[A]orn and raised in bl[B]ack and wh[E]ite
Verse 1.
