When I got home there was blood on the door. I saw you lying on the kitchen floor. I ran down the hall and 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 and a ? 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 profit, 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 momma'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.
