[00:25.28] The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
[00:29.03] Makes some people go insane
[00:32.79] While others quietly pray for rain
[00:37.04] That's where we came from
[00:40.79] Two boys playing in the burning sun
[00:44.53] One with books, one with guns
[00:48.53] Mama calls but just one comes
[00:52.29] The other one runs
[00:56.04] In a crystal sense of wrong and right
[00:59.79] We were born and raised in black and white
[01:03.54] One learned to pray, one loved to fight
[01:07.54] We were born and raised in black and white
[01:12.03] We were born and raised in black and white
[01:19.28] Brother took to the gospel road
[01:22.28] Spent his whole live saving souls
[01:26.03] When he looked at me his blood ran cold
[01:29.78] He didn't even try
[01:33.53] I had no dreams, I had no plans
[01:37.53] But a gun felt good in my right hand
[01:41.28] The warden asked how come you killed that man
[01:45.03] I said I don't know why
[01:49.28] Welcome home said the hot moonlight
[01:52.78] We were born and raised in black and white
[01:56.53] One lives to pray, one prays for life
[02:01.03] We were born and raised in black and white
[02:04.28] We were born and raised in black and white
[02:33.78] Someone handed me a cigarette
[02:38.03] They offered me my last request
[02:41.03] I asked my mortal soul be blessed
[02:45.03] By someone close to me
[02:49.03] He came to me with trembling hands
[02:52.78] He swore he'd never understand
[02:56.53] I said it's just what life had planned
[03:00.53] It's destiny
[03:04.03] Don't waste your tears on me tonight
[03:07.53] We were born and raised in black and white
[03:11.53] I chose the dark, you chased the light
[03:15.28] We were born and raised in black and white
[03:19.53] We were born and raised in black and white
[03:31.04] The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
[03:34.53] Makes some people go insane
[03:38.04] While others quietly pray for rain
