Born And Raised In Black And White [G] - Highwaymen
[Intro]
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]
The [G]wind blows hard across the Texas plains Makes some people go insane
While [Em]others quietly [C]pray for [G]rain
[C]That's where [G]we came [D]from
[G]Two boys playin' in the burnin' sun One with books, one with guns
[Em]Mama calls, [C]but just one [G]comes
The [C]other one runs[G]
[Chorus]
In the [Em]christian[C] sense of [D]wrong and [G]right
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
One [Em]learned to [C]pray, one [D]learned to [G]fight
We were [C]born and [G]raised in the [D]black and [G]white[C]
We were born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white[C]
[G]Brother took to the gospel road Spent his whole life savin' souls
When he [Em]looked at me, his [C]blood ran [G]cold
He [C]didn't even try[D]
I [G]had no dreams, I had no plans But a gun felt good in my right hand
The [Em]warden asked, "How come you [C]killed that [G]man"
I said, "I [C]don't know why"[G]
[Chorus]
[Em]"Welcome[C] home," said the [D]hot moon[G]light
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
One [Em]lives to [C]pray, one [D]prays for [G]life
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
[Instrumental]

[F] [C] [F] [C] [D]
[G]Someone handed me a cigarette They offered me my last request
I [Em]asked my mortal [C]soul be [G]blessed
By [C]someone [G]close to [D]me
[G]He came to me with trembling hands He swore he'd never understand
I [Em]said, "It's just what [C]life had [G]planned"
It's [C]destiny[G]
[Chorus]
Don't [Em]waste your [C]tears on [D]me to[G]night
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
I [Em]chose the [C]dark, you [D]chased the [G]light
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
We were [C]born and [G]raised in [D]black and [G]white
[G]Wind blows hard across the Texas plains Makes some people go insane
While [Em]others quietly [C]pray for [G]rain
