Born and raised in black and white


(Highwayman) The wind blows hard across the Texas planes
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rainThat'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 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 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 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 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 plannedIt's destiny Don't waste your tears on me tonight
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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Johnny Cash (Kingsland, Arkansas, February 26, 1932 – Nashville, Tennessee, September 12, 2003) was an American singer, musician, and actor widely considered one of the most influential figures in country music. Born into a poor farming family in the Deep South, Cash began singing in his local church and listening to country music on the radio. After serving in the military in Germany, where he learned to play guitar, he moved to Memphis and launched his musical career. His unique style, characterized by a deep baritone voice and often autobiographical lyrics that addressed themes of poverty, social justice, and addiction struggles, quickly made him popular. Among his most famous songs are "Ring of Fire", "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", and "A Boy Named Sue". Cash collaborated with numerous artists, including June Carter Cash, his wife from 1968 until his death. He won numerous awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. His music continues to be enjoyed by generations of fans worldwide.
