BLACK SHEEP
[ country; co-written by Daniel Muhammad ]


       Nothin’ much in life’s free ‘cept the wind and the rain
       But I quit my job anyway, just couldn't see no gain
       In workin’ hard every day so they can keep the gold
       Guess that’s why they call me black sheep of the fold

       I’m a busted whiskey glass, bar fight on a roll
       Broken peg that just don’t fit squarely in the hole
       Some say my track record’s a wonder to behold
       Guess that’s why they call me black sheep of the fold

       Folks all say I never will amount to anything
       ‘Cause other than this ol’ guitar, just don’t give a damn
       No matter how hard I try, can’t do what I’m told
       Guess that’s why they call me black sheep of the fold

       I’m a lonely midnight freight train running out'ta coal
       Back home they’ve long since stopped prayin’ for my soul
       When they put me together, must have broke the mold
       Guess I’d rather just be black sheep of the fold

       No matter how hard I try, just can't do what I'm told
       Guess I'd rather just be black sheep of the fold
       Yeah, guess I’d rather just be black sheep of the fold
