Shades Of Gray (Live) - Robert Earl Keen[00:00:01]

We made Oklahoma a little after 3[00:00:11]

Randy his brother Bob and my old gmc[00:00:15]

We had some moonshine whisky[00:00:18]

And some of Bob's homegrown[00:00:20]

So messed up we didn't know[00:00:22]

If we were drunk or stoned[00:00:24]

Randy was a sad sack tall kinda frail[00:00:27]

Bob was a raving maniac crazy in the head[00:00:31]

They been kicked out of high school several years ago[00:00:34]

For pushing over port a cans at the 4H rodeo[00:00:38]

Since then they've done their little dance[00:00:42]

Right outside the law[00:00:44]

Popped twice in Oklahoma once in Arkansas[00:00:46]

And I don't know what possessed me[00:00:49]

To want to tag along[00:00:51]

Cause I was raised a christian[00:00:53]

And I knew right from wrong[00:00:55]

Right or wrong black or white[00:00:59]

Cross the line your gonna pay[00:01:02]

In the dawn before the light[00:01:06]

Live and die by the shades of gray[00:01:10]

We stole two charolais heifers from[00:01:18]

Randy's sweetheart's paw[00:01:20]

Sold them at the livestock sale[00:01:22]

Outside of wichita[00:01:23]

We got $900 and never did suspect[00:01:25]

The world of hurt we'd be in once[00:01:29]

We cashed that check[00:01:31]

Next day we heard the story[00:01:32]

On the local radio[00:01:34]

Made our plans that very night[00:01:37]

To go to Mexico[00:01:38]

I swear we would have made it[00:01:40]

If it wasn't for that shine[00:01:42]

I got sick about the time we crossed[00:01:44]

That Kansas line[00:01:46]

Right or wrong black or white[00:01:49]

Cross the line your gonna pay[00:01:53]

In the dawn before the light[00:01:57]

Live and die by the shades of gray[00:02:01]

I was laying in the bar ditch[00:02:11]

Praying I would die[00:02:13]

When a light come on above us[00:02:15]

And a voice come from the sky[00:02:16]

A half a dozen unmarked cars[00:02:19]

Came screeching to a halt[00:02:21]

They grabbed Bob he started screaming[00:02:22]

It was all my fault[00:02:25]

There were men and dogs[00:02:26]

And helicopter buzzing all around[00:02:27]

They had the brothers on the[00:02:29]

Pickup hood and me down on the ground[00:02:31]

Bob flew all to pieces but randy he[00:02:34]

Held tight when a black man in a[00:02:36]

Suit and tie stepped out into the light[00:02:39]

He told his men to turn us loose[00:02:41]

They put down their guns[00:02:43]

He said these are just some[00:02:45]

Sorry kids they ain't the ones[00:02:46]

Right or wrong black or white[00:02:50]

Cross the line your gonna pay[00:02:54]

In the dawn before the light[00:02:58]

Live and die by the shades of gray[00:03:02]

They left us by the roadside[00:03:10]

Down hearted and alone[00:03:11]

Randy got behind the wheel[00:03:13]

Said boys I'm going home[00:03:15]

We turned around to face our fate[00:03:17]

Downhearted but alive on that[00:03:19]

Morning in late April Oklahoma 1995[00:03:21]

Right or wrong black or white[00:03:26]

Cross the line your gonna pay[00:03:30]

In the dawn before the light[00:03:34]

Live and die by the shades of gray[00:03:38]

Live and die by the shades of gray[00:03:41]

Live and die by the shades[00:03:45]
