Verse 1:
         E
	The wind blows hard across the Texas planes

	Makes some people go insane
                               A 
	While others quietly pray for rain
          E                    B 
	That's where we came from


Verse 2:
         E 
	Two boys playing in the burning sun

	One with books,one with guns
                        A
	Mama calls but just one comes

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



         E
	The other one runs


Chorus:
               A                E 
	In a crystal sense of wrong and right
                 A                   B         E 
	We were born and raised in black and white
              A                  E 
	One learned to pray,one loved to fight
                 A                   B         E
	We were born and raised in black and white
                 A                   B         E 
	We were born and raised in black and white


Verse 3:
         E 
	Brother took to the gospel road

	Spent his whole live saving souls
                                   A 
	When he looked at me his blood ran cold
            E
	He didn't even try


Verse 4:
          E
	I had no dreams,i had no plans

	But a gun felt good in my right hand 
                                       A
	The warden asked how come you killed that man
                  E
	I said i don't know why


Chorus bis:
            A                  E 
	Welcome home said the hot moonlight
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white
             A                  E
	One lives to pray,one prays for life
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white
                 A                   B         E
	We were born and raised in black and white


Verse 5:
         E
	Someone handed me a cigarette

	They offered me my last request
	                   A             
	I asked my mortal soul be blessed
            E                B
	By someone close to me


Verse 6:
         E
	He came to me with trembling hands

	He swore he'd never understand
                               A 
	I said it's just what life had planned
              E
	It's destiny


Chorus ter:
               A                   E 
	Don't waste your tears on me tonight
                 A                   B         E 
	We were born and raised in black and white
            A                  E
	I chose the dark,you chased the light
                 A                   B         E 
	We were born and raised in black and white
                 A                   B         E  
	We were born and raised in black and white


Verse 1.
