Wind blows hard across the Texas plains Makes some people go insane
While [C#m] others [A] quietly pray [E] for rain [A] That's [E] where we [B] came from
Two [E] boys playing in the burning sun One with books and one with guns
[C#m] Mama called, [A] but just [E] one comes [A] The other one runs
[E] [C#m] We're the Christian [A] Six [B] of wrong [E] and right [A] We were born [E] and raised in black and white
One learned [A] to pray, [B] one learned [E] to fight [A] We were born [E] and raised [B] in black [E] and white
[A] We were born [E] and raised [B] in black [E] and white
Brother took to the gospel [A] road [E] Spent his whole life saving souls
[C#m] When he looked at me, [A] his blood [E] ran cold [A] He didn't even try
[B] I [E] had no dreams, I had no plans But a gun felt good in my right hand
[C#m] The warden asked, how [A] come you killed [E] that man?
I [A] said, I don't know why

Someone handed me a cigarette They offered me my last request
I [C#m] asked my mortal [A] soul [E] to be blessed [A] By someone [E] close [B] to me
[E] He came to me with trembling hands He swore he'd never understand
I [C#m] said, it's just [A] what life [E] had planned [A] It's destiny
[E] [C#m] Don't waste [A] your tears [B] on me [E] tonight [A] We were born [E] and raised in black and white
[C#m] I've chose [A] the dark, [B] you've chased [E] the light [A] We were born [E] and raised [B] in black [E] and white
[A] We were born [E] and raised [B] in black [E] and white
