|
Sitting in this lonely town |
|
Wondering when things are gonna change |
|
Dreaming my life away and it seems |
|
Them dreams they turned into a bunch of dust clouds |
|
Getting my nerve up |
|
But my past is pulling me down |
|
Wondering 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, going off and set my soul, set it 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 |
|
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 singing 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 |
|
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, going off and set my soul, set it free |
