[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
