	C#m	E
	We made Oklahoma a	little after three

	B	C#m
	Randy his brother Bob in my old	GMC

We had some moonshine whiskey

	E
Some of	Bob's homegrown

	B	C#m
We were	so messed up we didn't know if we were drunk or	stoned

	C#m	E
	Randy was a sad sack	tall kinda frail

	B	C#m
Bob was a	ravin' maniac, crazier than	hell

	E
They'd been kicked outta high school	several years ago

	B	C#m
For	kickin' over porta-cans at the 4H	rodeo

	C#m	E
	Since then they done their little dance	right outside the law

	B	C#m
Popped	twice in Oklahoma and once in Arkan	sas

	C#m	E
And I	don't know what possessed me to	want to tag along

	B	C#m
Cause	I was raised a Christian and I knew right from	wrong

	A	E
	Right or wrong black or	white

	B	C#m
	Cross the line you're gonna	pay

	E	B	C#m
	In the	dawn before the	light

	A	B	C#m
	Live or	die by shades of	gray

	C#m
	We stole two charolais heifers

	E
From	Randy's sweetheart's pa

	B	C#m
And	sold them at the livestock sales outside of	Wichita

	C#m	E
	We got nine hundred dollars and	never did suspect

	B	C#m
The	world of hurt we'd be in once we cashed that	check

	E
Next day we heard the story on the	local radio

	B	C#m
And	made our plans that very night to go to	Mexico

	E
And I swear we would've made it if it	wasn't for the shine

	B	C#m
I got	sick about the time we crossed that Kansas	line

	A	E
	Right or wrong black or	white

	B	C#m
	Cross the line you're gonna	pay

	E	B	C#m
	In the	dawn before the	light

	A	B	C#m
	Live or	die by shades of	gray

SOLO

	C#m	E
	I was lying in the bar ditch	praying I would die

	B
When a	light came on above us

	C#m
And a voice called from the	sky

	E
A half dozen unmarked cards came	screeching to a halt

	B	C#m
They grabbed	Bob he started screaming that it was my	fault

	E
There were men and dogs and	helicopters flying all around

	B
They had the	brothers on the pickup hood

	C#m
And me on the	ground

	E
Then Bob flew all to pieces but	Randy he held tight

	B	C#m
When a	black man in a suit and tie stepped into the	light

He told his men to turn us loose

	E
And	they put down their guns

	B
He said	these are just some sorry kids

	C#m
They ain't the o	nes

	A	E
	Right or wrong black or	white

	B	C#m
	Cross the line you're gonna	pay

	E	B	C#m
	In the	dawn before the	light

	A	B	C#m
	Live or	die by shades of	gray

	C#m	E
	They left us by the roadside	downhearted and alone

	B	C#m
Randy	got behind the wheel said boys I'm going	home

	E
So we turned round and faced our fate	hung over but alive

	B	C#m
On that	morning Oklahoma late April nintry	five
