Black And White Lyrics by Bleu Edmondson
Bleu Edmondson Lyrics
Lay down mama get some rest, there’s not much more than you can do
Gonna lose the house, pop aint comin back, God and luck will pull us through.
I’m almost 18, school aint workin out never did much for me anyhow.
I’m gonna find some work, there’s gotta be life left in this town
I beat the street all day long, but they all got death in their eyes
There aint no work and it don’t look good, we gotta compromise
There was a man last week down at the school with a real nice uniform
Said I could sign my name and be reborn
Some folks live in the black and white folks like us survive in the gray
There’s a voice out in the distance that says we’re gonna be ok
So keep that cross around your neck and remember what we say
All good things come with the light of day.
I’m gonna pack you up and send you out to Uncle Jack’s near Abilene
Said they’d put you up ‘til I get back though I don’t know when it’ll be.
But don’t you cry or worry too bad I’ll be a lion from a lamb
trust me mama this aint no Vietnam
Chorus
I’m gonna head downtown to meet the bus today I’m bound for Caroline
Keep me deep in your heart and know you live in mine.
Chorus
