Black wind blowing

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 and 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
My and my brother trying to disappear
He chose the prophet baby I chose you
And 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 and 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
