When I got home there was blood on the door |
|
I saw you lying on the kitchen floor |
|
I ran down the hallway, when |
|
I saw what he did |
|
And found our little bitty baby lying dead in her crib |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing |
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates |
|
Trying to blow this place into outer space |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
I didn't bother picking up the phone |
|
I'm gonna get there first, |
|
I want you all alone |
|
There's gonna be blood on the wall at a highway south |
|
Your scripture won't save you when my gun's in your mouth |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing |
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates |
|
Trying to blow this place into outer space |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
I was eighteen when |
|
I first came here |
|
Me and my brother trying to disappear |
|
He chose the prophet, baby, |
|
I chose you |
|
From that day |
|
I feared what he could do |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing |
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates |
|
Trying to blow this place into outer space |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
I took the corner then |
|
I gunned it hard |
|
I drove my truck into your front yard |
|
You came out running but |
|
I was too fast |
|
I took out your legs and dropped you in the grass |
|
There were people outside, |
|
I heard somebody scream |
|
My whole life became a movie screen |
|
I remembered us jumping on our mama's bed |
|
She was yelling be careful or you'll bump your head |
|
I put my gun up under your chin |
|
My hand was shaking so |
|
I dug it in |
|
You started laughing, said |
|
I understand |
|
You wish you couldn't but |
|
I know you can, you can |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing |
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates |
|
Trying to blow this place into outer space |
|
There's a black wind blowing |
