Brooks & Dunn - Born raised in black and white

The ^Ewind blows hard across the Texas plains, Makes some people go insane. While ^Dbmothers quietly ^Apray for ^Erain, ^AThat's where ^Ewe came ^Bfrom.

^ETwo boys playing in the burning sun, One with books and one with guns. ^DbmMama calls but ^Ajust one ^Ecomes, The ^Aother one runs.^E

With a ^DbmChristian ^Asense of ^Bwrong and ^Eright, We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite. One ^Dbmlearned to ^Apray, one ^Bloved to ^Efight, We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite.^A

My ^Ebrother took to the gospel road, Spent his whole life saving souls. Well he ^Dbmlooked at me and his ^Ablood ran ^Ecold, He ^Adidn't even try.^B

I ^Ehad no dreams and I had no plans, But a gun felt good in my right hand. ^DbmWarden said 'How come you ^Akilled that ^Eman?' I said 'I ^Adon't know why'.^E

^DbmWelcome ^Ahome said the ^Bhot moon^Elight, We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite. One ^Dbmlives to ^Apray, one ^Bwaits to ^Edie, We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite. We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite.

^ESomeone handed me a cigarette, They offered me my last request. I ^Dbmasked my mortal ^Asoul be ^Eblessed, By ^Asomeone ^Eclose to ^Bme.

I ^Ecame to him with trembling hands, I swore I'd never understand. He ^Dbmsaid its just what ^Alife had ^Eplanned, It's ^Adestiny.^E

So don't ^Dbmwaste your ^Atears on ^Bme to^Enight, We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite. You ^Dbmchose the ^Adark, I ^Bchase the ^Elight, We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite. We were ^Aborn and ^Eraised in ^Bblack and ^Ewhite.^{A E A}
