Black Sheep lyrics

Joey left when he was 16
Black leather and blue jeans
Too young to take a stand
Gang life was like quicksand

Pack o` smokes and a bottle o`Jack was
A good friend, that didn`t talk back much
Young dude on a roll,
Fast time take a toll

Brother was a big shot lawyer
Said the street life`s gonna destroys ya
Sister was an uptown model
Said your whole life`s in that bottle

CHORUS:
Black sheep, Black sheep
Bad boy of the family
Two strikes against him from the start
Black sheep, Black sleep
Livin` life out of the street
Paid the price that left a scar

Good times and a couple of laughs were
Just what, Joe was after
Love came ina girl named Jane
She tried to keep him tame
It`s hard to walk the line
Born under a bad sign
The city was an ice cold place
Pain was written in Joey`s face

Lord knows that he was a hard one
Switchblade and a .38 handgun
Joey got two years in the State Penn
He`s coming back
But he just don`t know when

CHORUS

Doin` time got Joey thinkin`
Started prayin` and he gave up drinkin`
Parole`s comin` in six months maybe
Not knowin` Jane`s having his baby

CHORUS

Left jail straight as an arrow
Gonna stay on the straight and narrow
He loves Jane, and he loves little Joey
Lord knows
