Mason Jennings - Black Wind Blowing lyrics

rate me

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