[00:06.03]We made Oklahoma a little after 3
[00:11.01]Randy, his brother
[00:11.70]Bob and my old
[00:14.91]GMC We had some moonshine whisky
[00:17.13]And some of
[00:17.67]Bob's homegrown
[00:19.41]We were so messed up we didn't know
[00:22.02]If we were drunk or stoned
[00:25.92]Randy was a sad-sack, tall kinda frail
[00:30.39]Bob was a raving maniac, crazy in the head
[00:34.86]They been kicked out of high school several years ago
[00:39.69]For pushin over port-a-cans at the 4-
[00:42.81]H rodeo Since then they've done their little dance
[00:47.13]Right outside the law
[00:49.14]Popped twice in
[00:49.62]Oklahoma, once in
[00:52.26]Arkansas And
[00:54.18]I don't know what possessed me
[00:56.28]To want to tag along
[00:57.78]Cause I was raised a
[01:00.06]Christian
[01:01.23]And I knew right from wrong
[01:03.03]CHORUS: Right or wrong, black or white
[01:10.38]Cross the line your gonna pay
[01:12.21]In the dawn before the light
[01:16.53]Live and die by the shades of gray
[01:29.73]We stole two
[01:30.51]Charolais heifers from
[01:32.25]Randy's sweetheart's paw
[01:34.65]Sold them at the livestock sale
[01:36.93]Outside of
[01:37.65]Wichita We got $900 and never did suspect
[01:43.98]The world of hurt we'd be in once
[01:46.95]We cashed that check
[01:48.72]Next day we heard the story
[01:50.94]On the local radio
[01:52.65]Made our plans that very night
[01:55.89]To go to Mexico
[01:58.35]I swear we would have made it
[02:01.62]If it wasn't for that shine
[02:03.36]I got sick about the time we crossed
[02:06.06]That Kansas line
[02:14.55]CHORUS I was layin in the bar ditch
[02:40.17]Prayin I would die
[02:42.18]When a light come on above us
[02:44.55]And a voice come from the sky
[02:47.10]A half a dozen unmarked cars
[02:49.44]Came screeching to a halt
[02:51.48]They grabbed bob, he started screamin
[02:54.27]It was all my fault
[02:56.43]There were men and dogs
[02:57.87]And helicopter buzzin all around
[03:00.90]They had the brothers on the
[03:02.61]Pickup hood and me down on the ground
[03:06.18]Bob flew all to pieces but randy he
[03:09.33]Held tight when a black man in a
[03:12.03]Suit and tie stepped out into the light
[03:15.48]He told his men to turn us loose
[03:18.27]They put down their guns
[03:20.01]He said these are just some
[03:21.45]Sorry kids, they ain't the ones
[03:31.95]CHORUS They left us by the roadside
[03:53.67]Down hearted and alone
[03:56.28]Randy got behind the wheel
[03:58.44]Said boys
[03:59.22]I'm going home
[04:00.93]We turned around to face our fate
[04:03.27]HUNGOVER but alive on that
[04:05.73]Mornin in late
[04:06.99]April, Oklahoma, 1995
[04:13.86]CHORUS

We made Oklahoma a little after 3
Randy, his brother
Bob and my old
GMC We had some moonshine whisky
And some of
Bob's homegrown
We were so messed up we didn't know
If we were drunk or stoned
Randy was a sad-sack, tall kinda frail
Bob was a raving maniac, crazy in the head
They been kicked out of high school several years ago
For pushin over port-a-cans at the 4-
H rodeo Since then they've done their little dance
Right outside the law
Popped twice in
Oklahoma, once in
Arkansas And
I don't know what possessed me
To want to tag along
Cause I was raised a
Christian
And I knew right from wrong
CHORUS: Right or wrong, black or white
Cross the line your gonna pay
In the dawn before the light
Live and die by the shades of gray
We stole two
Charolais heifers from
Randy's sweetheart's paw
Sold them at the livestock sale
Outside of
Wichita We got $900 and never did suspect
The world of hurt we'd be in once
We cashed that check
Next day we heard the story
On the local radio
Made our plans that very night
To go to Mexico
I swear we would have made it
If it wasn't for that shine
I got sick about the time we crossed
That Kansas line
CHORUS I was layin in the bar ditch
Prayin I would die
When a light come on above us
And a voice come from the sky
A half a dozen unmarked cars
Came screeching to a halt
They grabbed bob, he started screamin
It was all my fault
There were men and dogs
And helicopter buzzin all around
They had the brothers on the
Pickup hood and me down on the ground
Bob flew all to pieces but randy he
Held tight when a black man in a
Suit and tie stepped out into the light
He told his men to turn us loose
They put down their guns
He said these are just some
Sorry kids, they ain't the ones
CHORUS They left us by the roadside
Down hearted and alone
Randy got behind the wheel
Said boys
I'm going home
We turned around to face our fate
HUNGOVER but alive on that
Mornin in late
April, Oklahoma, 1995
CHORUS
