[Intro]
E A E A E A E A
[Verse 1]
E
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
Dbm A E
While others quietly pray for rain
A E B
That's where we came from
E
Two boys playin' in the burnin' sun
One with books, one with guns
Dbm A E
Mama calls, but just one comes
A E
The other one runs
[Chorus]
Dbm A B E
In the christian sense of wrong and right
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
Dbm A B E
One learned to pray, one learned to fight
A E B E A
We were born and raised in the black and white
E B E A
We were born and raised in black and white
[Verse 2]
E
Brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole life savin' souls
Dbm A E
When he looked at me, his blood ran cold
A B
He didn't even try
E
I had no dreams, I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
Dbm A E
The warden asked, "How come you killed that man"
A E
I said, "I don't know why"
[Chorus]
Dbm A B E
"Welcome home," said the hot moonlight
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
Dbm A B E
One lives to pray, one prays for life
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E
Someone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
Dbm A E
I asked my mortal soul be blessed
A E B
By someone close to me
E
He came to me with trembling hands
He swore he'd never understand
Dbm A E
I said, "It's just what life had planned"
A E
It's destiny
[Chorus]
Dbm A B E
Don't waste your tears on me tonight
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
Dbm A B E
I chose the dark, you chased the light
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
A E B E
We were born and raised in black and white
