My daddy was a brakeman on a highball traveling train Momma, she raised four little children and her family had a good name Poppa and momma wanted all for us they never had Big brother, little brother, sister too, none of them turned out half bad Accept 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 gotta big long Mercedes Benz and a house overlooking the town He sits in his jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down He feels real sorry for me, I'm the black sheep of the family
I drive me a big ol' semi truck, I'm making payments on a two room shack My wife, she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back I tell her what my poppa said to my momma When he got off the highball train Wake me up early, be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray
My little sister married a banker, 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 Well, they like to get together and talk about all the things they got But they never mention me, I'm the black sheep of the family
I drive me a big ol' semi truck, I'm making payments on a two room shack My wife, she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back I tell her what my poppa said to my momma When he got off the highball train Wake me up early, be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray Tell 'em what to do John
