Black Sheep By John Anderson lyrics

My daddy was a brake man on a highball travelin` train
An`momma she raised four little children
and the family had a good name
An poppa and momma wanted all for us they never had
Big brother, little brother and sister too
none of them turned out half bad
`cept me

I`m the black sheep of the family

Big brother went to college and became a doctor man
I guess he makes about a million dollars a year
off the folks on insurance plan
He`s got a big long mercedes-benz
And a house over-looking the town
He sits in his jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down
and he feels real sorry for me,

I`m the black sheep of the family

Yeah I drive me a big ol` semi truck
I`m makin` payments on a two room shack
My wife she waits on tables
and at night she rubs my back
And I tell her what my poppa said to my momma
when he got off a highball train
Wake me up early, be good to my dogs
and teach my children to pray

Little sister married a banker
Yeah, he owns a country club
He bought her a big ol` racing horse
and a funny looking little dog
He buys her big rings and diamonds
and a brand new japanese yacht
And they like to get together
an` talk about all the things they`ve got
But they never mention me,

I`m the black sheep of the family

Yeah, I drive me a big ol` semi truck
I`m makin` payments on a two room shack
My wife she waits on tables
and at night she rubs my back
And I tell her what my poppa said to my momma
when he got off a highball train
Wake me up early, be good to my dogs
and teach my children to pray

I`m sayin` Woman,
Wake me up early, be good to my dogs,
and teach my children to pray
