Am----C----G--------Am

	Am	C
	We made Oklahoma a littl	e after 3

	G	Am
	Randy, his brother Bob and my old GM	C

We had some moonshine whisky

	C
	and some of Bob's homegrown

	G
	we were so messed up we didn't know

	Am
if we were drunk o	r stoned

	C
Randy was a sad-sack, ta	ll kinda frail

	G	Am
	Bob was a raving maniac, crazy in the	head

	C
They been kicked out of high school	several years ago

	G	Am
for	pushin over port-a-cans at the 4-H	rodeo

Since then they've done their little dance

	C
	right outside the law

	G	Am
popped t	wice in Oklahoma, once in Ar	kansas

and I don't know what possessed me

	C
	to want to tag along

	G
Cause I	was raised a Christian

	Am
and I knew right from	wrong

CHORUS:

	F	G	Am
	Right or	wrong, black	or white

	F	G	Am
	cross the	line your gonna	pay

	F	G	Am
	in the d	awn before the	light

	F	G	Am
	live and	die by the shades o	f gray

We stole two Charolais heffers from

Randy's sweetheart's paw

sold them at the livestock sale

outside of Witchita

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 barditch

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

downhearted but alive on that

mornin in late April, Oklahoma, 1995

CHORUS
