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
