    Verse 1
    The 
    wind 
    blows 
    hard 
    across 
    the 
    Texas 
    plains 

    Makes 
    some 
    people 
    go 
    insane 

    While 
    others 
    quietly 
    pray 
    for 
    rain 

    That's 
    where 
    we 
    came 
    from 

    Two 
    boys 
    playing 
    in 
    the 
    burning 
    sun 

    One 
    with 
    books, 
    one 
    with 
    guns 

    Mama 
    calls 
    but 
    just 
    one 
    comes 

    The 
    other 
    one 
    runs 

    Chorus 1
    In 
    a 
    crystal 
    sense 
    of 
    wrong 
    and 
    right 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    One 
    learned 
    to 
    pray, 
    one 
    loved 
    to 
    fight 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    Verse 2
    Brother 
    took 
    to 
    the 
    gospel 
    road 

    Spent 
    his 
    whole 
    live 
    saving 
    souls 

    When 
    he 
    looked 
    at 
    me 
    his 
    blood 
    ran 
    cold 

    He 
    didn't 
    even 
    try 

    I 
    had 
    no 
    dreams, 
    I 
    had 
    no 
    plans 

    But 
    a 
    gun 
    felt 
    good 
    in 
    my 
    right 
    hand 

    The 
    warden 
    asked, 

    “How 
    come 
    you 
    killed 
    that 
    man” 

    I 
    said, 
    “I 
    don't 
    know 
    why” 

    Chorus 2
    Welcome 
    home 
    said 
    the 
    hot 
    moonlight 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    One 
    lives 
    to 
    pray, 
    one 
    prays 
    for 
    life 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    Solo 1





    Verse 3
    Someone 
    handed 
    me 
    a 
    cigarette 

    They 
    offered 
    me 
    my 
    last 
    request 

    I 
    asked 
    my 
    mortal 
    soul 
    be 
    blessed 

    By 
    someone 
    close 
    to 
    me 

    He 
    came 
    to 
    me 
    with 
    trembling 
    hands 

    He 
    swore 
    he'd 
    never 
    understand 

    I 
    said 
    it's 
    just 
    what 
    life 
    had 
    planned 

    It's 
    destiny 

    Chorus 3
    Don't 
    waste 
    your 
    tears 
    on 
    me 
    to
    night 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    I 
    chose 
    the 
    dark, 
    you 
    chased 
    the 
    light 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised 
    in 
    black 
    and 
    white 


    Outro 1
    The 
    wind 
    blows 
    hard 
    across 
    the 
    Texas 
    plains 

    Makes 
    some 
    people 
    go 
    insane 

    While 
    others 
    quietly 
    pray 
    for 
    rain

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
