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.

There's a black wind blowing.
