Black Sheep

Martin Sexton

Sittin in this lonely town wonderin when things are gonna change

Dreamin my life away and it seems them dreams they turned into a bunch of dust clouds

Gettin my nerve up but my past is pullin me down

wonderin how long this black sheep can stick around



Somebody told me once before

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



Bye bye black sheep

black sheep of the family

Bye bye black sheep hOW that means so much to me

Bye bye to my friends and to my family

bye bye black sheep goin off and set my soul set it free



Times they were changin I did just a little re-arrangin

take a couple chances my progress it advances

to that prize of my freedom



It's written in the stars that steel bars never will a prison cell make

once I find that sweet home or a place I like to call home anyway

some people will say I'm crazy singin out loud like I do here on the street

when I got A song I sing it out loud and if you don't like that my friend

well I'm gonna say to you



Chorus
