Daryle Singletary & John Anderson - Black Sheep lyrics

rate me

My daddy was a brakeman on a highball traveling train<br />

Momma, she raised four little children and her family had a good name<br />

Poppa and momma wanted all for us they never had<br />

Big brother, little brother, sister too, none of them turned out half bad<br />

Accept me, I'm the black sheep of the family<br />

<br />

Big brother went to college and became a doctor man<br />

I guess he makes about a million dollars a year<br />

Off the folks on insurance plan<br />

He's gotta big long Mercedes Benz and a house overlooking the town<br />

He sits in his jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down<br />

He feels real sorry for me, I'm the black sheep of the family<br />

<br />

I drive me a big ol' semi truck, I'm making payments on a two room shack<br />

My wife, she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back<br />

I tell her what my poppa said to my momma<br />

When he got off the highball train<br />

Wake me up early, be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray<br />

<br />

My little sister married a banker, he owns a country club<br />

He bought her a big ol' racing horse and a funny looking little dog<br />

He buys her big rings and diamonds<br />

And a brand new Japanese yacht<br />

Well, they like to get together and talk about all the things they got<br />

But they never mention me, I'm the black sheep of the family<br />

<br />

I drive me a big ol' semi truck, I'm making payments on a two room shack<br />

My wife, she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back<br />

I tell her what my poppa said to my momma<br />

When he got off the highball train<br />

Wake me up early, be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray<br />

Tell 'em what to do John<br />

<br />

I said, “Wake me up early, be good to my dogs<br />

And teach my children to pray, oh”
