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
