Black Sheep Lyrics

Black Sheep lyrics



My daddy was a brakeman on a highball traveling train

Mama she raised four little children and the family had a good name

And papa and mama wanted all for us they never had

Big brother little brother sister too none of them turned out half bad

Cept me I'm the black sheep of the family



Big brother went to college and became a doctor man

I guess he makes about a million dollars a year off the folks own insurance
plan

He's got a big long Mercedes Benz and a house overlooking the town

He sits in his Jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down

And he feels real sorry for me I'm the black sheep of the family



Yeah I drive me a big ol' semi truck I'm makin' payments on a two room
shack

My wife she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back

And I tell her what my papa said to my mama when he got off a highball
train

Wake me up early be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray



Little sister married a banker yeah he owns a country club

He bought her a big ol' racing horse and a funny lookin' little dog

He buys her big rings and diamonds and a brand new Japanese yacht

They like to get together and talk about all the things they've got

But they never mention me I'm the black sheep of the family



Yeah I drive me a big ol' semi truck...

I'm sayin' woman wake me up early be good to my dogs

And teach my children to pray
