Black Sheep
I'm sitting in this lonely town
Wondering when things are gonna change
I'm dreaming my life away, and it seems them dreams
They turned into a bunch of dust clouds
I'm getting my nerve up
But my past is pulling me down
I'm wondering how long
This black sheep can, can stick around...
Somebody told me once before
They said you can never go home again once you leave
Say anything just to steer me away
From the truth of what I who I am and what I believe
So I thanked him for his two cents
With a shake and some sympathy
And I packed up my blue jeans
And I headed for the big prize of my freedom
So bye bye black sheep
Bye bye black sheep
Bye bye black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep gonna set my soul, yeah set it free
Free
Times they were changing I did just a little re-arranging
Take a couple chances my progress it advances
To that prize of my freedom, oh yeah
And it's written in the stars
Steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home
Or some place I like to call home
Everybody says I'm crazy
When I'm singing out loud like I do here on the street
Over when I got a song oh I'll sing it out loud
And if you don't like that my friend, yeah-oh
Well I'm gonna say
Bye bye black sheep (oh bye bye)
Oh bye bye to the black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep
Goodbye to my friends
Oh black sheep you know
You know you know you always means so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and you been my family
Bye bye black sheep
I'm gonna set my soul, set it free
Wondering when things are gonna change
I'm dreaming my life away, and it seems them dreams
They turned into a bunch of dust clouds
I'm getting my nerve up
But my past is pulling me down
I'm wondering how long
This black sheep can, can stick around...
Somebody told me once before
They said you can never go home again once you leave
Say anything just to steer me away
From the truth of what I who I am and what I believe
So I thanked him for his two cents
With a shake and some sympathy
And I packed up my blue jeans
And I headed for the big prize of my freedom
So bye bye black sheep
Bye bye black sheep
Bye bye black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep gonna set my soul, yeah set it free
Free
Times they were changing I did just a little re-arranging
Take a couple chances my progress it advances
To that prize of my freedom, oh yeah
And it's written in the stars
Steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home
Or some place I like to call home
Everybody says I'm crazy
When I'm singing out loud like I do here on the street
Over when I got a song oh I'll sing it out loud
And if you don't like that my friend, yeah-oh
Well I'm gonna say
Bye bye black sheep (oh bye bye)
Oh bye bye to the black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep
Goodbye to my friends
Oh black sheep you know
You know you know you always means so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and you been my family
Bye bye black sheep
I'm gonna set my soul, set it free
