Black Sheep
I was raised in a small town, underneath a steeple
Raised with The Good Book in my hand
Though I loved the Shepherd
I didn't mix well with His people
So one day I jumped the fence to find new lands
I'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
I hang with the lone wolves
The outcasts and the sinners
We drink beer in the taverns Friday nights
We shoot whiskey, and we cuss
We throw down, and we make up
Working all our guardian angels overtime
I'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
Sometimes late at night
I get thinkin' about my Shepherd
How it broke His big old heart to see me stray
But if I know the hound of heaven
He's left the flock to find me
And when he tracks me down
Oh happy, happy day
'Cause i'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found, found, found
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
When that day comes, and He takes me
To his throne on that mountain
He'll say, "Welcome home son, you're family"
And I'll turn 'round, and I'll look out
On his heaven of millions
On a sea of black sheep just like me
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Raised with The Good Book in my hand
Though I loved the Shepherd
I didn't mix well with His people
So one day I jumped the fence to find new lands
I'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
I hang with the lone wolves
The outcasts and the sinners
We drink beer in the taverns Friday nights
We shoot whiskey, and we cuss
We throw down, and we make up
Working all our guardian angels overtime
I'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
Sometimes late at night
I get thinkin' about my Shepherd
How it broke His big old heart to see me stray
But if I know the hound of heaven
He's left the flock to find me
And when he tracks me down
Oh happy, happy day
'Cause i'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found, found, found
Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found
When that day comes, and He takes me
To his throne on that mountain
He'll say, "Welcome home son, you're family"
And I'll turn 'round, and I'll look out
On his heaven of millions
On a sea of black sheep just like me
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
