Not every song thatwill be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian”in the eyes of this world. For some willbe anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviouslyferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (inone way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear themessage.

Highwayman
The Highwaymen
I was a highwayman
Along the coachroads I did ride
With sword andpistol by my side
Many a young maidlost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shedhis lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hungme in the spring of twenty-five
But I am stillalive
I was a sailor
I was born upon thetide
And with the sea Idid abide
I sailed a schooneraround the Horn of Mexico
I went aloft andfurled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yardsbroke off they said that I got killed
But I am livingstill
I was a dam builder
Across the riverdeep and wide
Where steel andwater did collide
A place calledBoulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fellinto the wet concrete below
They buried me inthat great tomb that knows no sound
But I am stillaround
I’ll always bearound
And around
And around
And around
And around
I fly a starship
Across the universedivide
And when I reachthe other side
I’ll find a placeto rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I maybecome a highwayman again
Or I may simply bea single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I’ll be backagain
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again

Born and Raised in Black and White
The Highwaymen
The wind blows hard
Across the Texasplains
Makes some people
Go insane
While othersquietly
Pray for rain
That’s where wecame from
Two boys playin’ inthe burnin’ sun
One with books
One with guns
Mama calls
But just one comes
The other one runs
In a crystal sense
Of wrong and right
We were born andraised
In black and white
One learned to pray
One learned tofight
We were born andraised
In black and white
We were born andraised
In black and white
Brother took to theGospel road
Spent his wholelife savin’ souls
When he looked atme
His blood ran cold
He didn’t even try
I had no dreams
I had no plans
But a gun felt good
In my right hand
The warden asked
How come you killedthat man
I said I don’t knowwhy
Welcome home
Said the hotmoonlight
We were born andraised
In black and white
One lives to pray
One prays for life
We were born andraised
In black and white
We were born andraised
In black and white
Someone handed me acigarette
They offered me mylast request
I asked my mortalsoul be blessed
By someone close tome
He came to me withtremblin’ hands
He swore he’d neverunderstand
I said it’s justwhat life had planned
It’s destiny
Don’t waste yourtears
On me tonight
We were born andraised
In black and white
I chose the dark
You chased theLight
We were born andraised
In black and white
We were born andraised
In black and white
The wind blows hard
Across the Texasplains
Makes some people
Go insane
While othersquietly
Pray for rain
