Black And Blue
Rick Amburgey/Melyssa Corrigan/Dana Pagane

Verse 1:
Since Trey was young he’d heard his momma say
Things are different when you look this way
They’ll stop you, boy, for anything at all
And I don’t ever wanna get that call

Pre-Chorus:
Driving down the freeway Friday night
His heart sank when he saw those flashing lights

Chorus 1:
I’m not looking for no trouble, sir
I’m just heading home
Been working double shifts
To help keep supper on the stove
I wish the world went color blind
So we could see right through
And erase that line
That keeps dividing black and blue

Verse 2:
Joe wears the badge like his daddy did
With pride but times are so damn different
There’s anger reaching new heights on the streets
And he’s been losing faith and losing sleep

Pre-Chorus:
Winding down his watch on Friday night
Saw Trey driving by and flashed those lights

Chorus:
No, you’re not in any trouble, son
I’m heading home myself
I saw your taillight out
And thought that maybe I could help
I wish the world went color blind
So we could see right through
And erase that line
That keeps dividing black and blue

Bridge:
Then Joe saw the Bible
On the seat right next to Trey
Asked to share a prayer
Before he sent him on his way

Chorus 3:
We’re not looking for no trouble, Lord
We’re just heading home
Been working double shifts
To help keep supper on the stove
If the world went color blind
We could see right through
And erase that line
That keeps dividing black and blue

Half Chorus:
Oh, if all the world went colorblind
We could see right through
And erase that line
That keeps dividing black and blue

Tag:
We’d erase that line
That keeps dividing black and blue
