Lyrics

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 clouds Gettin' my nerve up, but my past is pullin' me down Wonderin' how long this black sheep can stick around Somebody told me once before He said that you can never go home again Once you leave, you take anything just to steer me away from the truth of who I am and what I believe So 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 freedom So bye bye black sheep of the family Bye bye black sheep how that mean so much to me Bye bye to my friends and my family Bye bye black sheep gonna set my soul set it free Free, times they were changin' I did just little rearrangin' Na, na, na, na, na, take a couple chances my progress it advances To that prize of my freedom And it's written in the stars, steel bars never will a prison cell make Once I find that sweet home or someplace I'd like to call home Some people say I'm crazy, singin' out loud oh like I do here on the street When I got a song oh I sing it out loud and if you don't like that my friend Well I'm gonna say Oh, bye bye oh, bye bye black sheep to the family Goodbye to my friends, um and black sheep you know you'll always mean so much to me See my friends you've been my family Bye, bye black sheep going off to set my soul set it free
