Sittin' in this lonely town
Wonderin' when things are gonna change
Dreamin' my life away and it seems them dreams
They turned into a bunch of dust cloudsGettin' my nerve up
But my past is pullin' me down
Wonderin' how long
This black sheep can, can stick aroundSomebody told me once before
You can never go home again once you leave
Say anything just to steer me away
From the truth of what I who I am and what I believeSo I thanked him for his two cents
With a shake and some sympathy
And I packed up my blue jeans
And I headed for the big prize of my freedomSo bye bye black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep how that means so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and to my family
Bye bye black sheep goin' off and set my soul, set it free, freeTimes they were changin' I did just a little re-arrangin'
Take a couple chances my progress it advances
To that prize of my freedom, yeahAnd it's written in the stars
Steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home
Or some place I like to call home anywaySome people will say I'm crazy
Singin' out loud like I do here on the street
When I got a song I'll sing it out loud
And if you don't like that my friend, well I'm gonna sayBye bye black sheep, black sheep of the family
Bye bye goodbye to my friends
And black sheep you know you always means so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and you been my family
Bye bye black sheep goin' off and set my soul, set it free, free
