Black Wind Blowing

Lyrics

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
