Black Sheep

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
He said that you can never go home again
Once you leave, you take anything just to steer me away from the truth of 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 of the family
Bye bye black sheep how that mean so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and my family
Bye bye black sheep gonna set my soul set it free

Free, times they were changin' I did just little rearrangin'
Na, na, na, na, na, take a couple chances my progress it advances
To that prize of my freedom

And it's written in the stars, steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home or someplace I'd like to call home Some people say I'm crazy, singin' out loud oh like I do here on the street
When I got a song oh I sing it out loud and if you don't like that my friend
Well I'm gonna say

Oh, bye bye oh, bye bye black sheep to the family
Goodbye to my friends, um and black sheep you know you'll always mean so much to me
See my friends you've been my family
Bye, bye black sheep going off to set my soul set it free
