Joey left when he was 16 |
|
Black leather and blue jeans |
|
Too young to take a stand |
|
Gang life was like quicksand |
|
Pack o' smokes and a bottle o' |
|
Jack was A good friend, that didn't talk back much |
|
Young dude on a roll, |
|
Fast time take a toll |
|
Brother was a big shot lawyer |
|
Said the street life's gonna destroys ya |
|
Sister was an uptown model |
|
Said your whole life's in that bottle |
|
CHORUS: Black sheep, |
|
Black sheep |
|
Bad boy of the family |
|
Two strikes against him from the start |
|
Black sheep, |
|
Black sleep |
|
Livin' life out of the street |
|
Paid the price that left a scar |
|
Good times and a couple of laughs were |
|
Just what, |
|
Joe was after |
|
Love came ina girl named |
|
Jane She tried to keep him tame |
|
It's hard to walk the line |
|
Born under a bad sign |
|
The city was an ice cold place |
|
Pain was written in |
|
Joey's face |
|
Lord knows that he was a hard one |
|
Switchblade and a .38 handgun |
|
Joey got two years in the |
|
State Penn |
|
He's coming back |
|
But he just don't know when |
|
CHORUS Doin' time got |
|
Joey thinkin' |
|
Started prayin' and he gave up drinkin' |
|
Parole's comin' in six months maybe |
|
Not knowin' |
|
Jane's having his baby |
|
CHORUS Left jail straight as an arrow |
|
Gonna stay on the straight and narrow |
|
He loves Jane, and he loves little |
|
Joey Lord knows |
