Highwaymen - Born and Raised in Black and White lyrics

(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 k**ed 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
