F C Right or Wrong, black or white G Am Cross the line you're gonna pay C G Am In the dawn before the light F G Am Live and die by 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 F C Right or Wrong, black or white G Am Cross the line you're gonna pay C G Am In the dawn before the light F G Am Live and die by shades of gray F G Am Live and die by shades of gray repeat intro
