Sittin in this lonely town wonderin when things are going to change
Dreamin my life away and it seems them dreams have
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 you can never go home again once you leave
Say anything just to scare 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
Bye bye black sheep, black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep how that means so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and my family
Bye bye black sheep goin off to set my soul, set it free
Times they were a changin, I did just a little re-arrangin
Take a couple chances, my progress it advances
To that prize of my freedom*
It's written in the stars steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home or a place I like to call home anyway
Some people will say I'm crazy singin out loud like I do here on the
street
When I got a song I sing it out loud and if you don't like that my
friend,
Well I'm gonna say to you
