Mason Jennings - Black Wind Blowing lyrics
[Mason Jennings - Black Wind Blowing lyrics]
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
