Karaoke Black Sheep John Anderson

My daddy was a brakeman on a high ball travelin' train

My momma she raised four little children and the family had a good name

And poppa and momma wanted all for us they never had

Big brother little brother sister too none of them turned out half bad

'Cept 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 on the folks on insurance plans

He's got a big long

Mercedes Benz and a house over lookin' the town

He sits in his Ja'coszi and watches the sun go down

And he feels real sorry for me

I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah I drive me a big old semi truck

I'm makin' payments on a two room shack

My wife she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back

An' I tell her what my poppa said to my momma

When he got off a highball train

Wake me up early be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray

Little sister married a banker yeah he owns a country club

He bought her a big ol' racing horse and a funny lookin' little dog

He buys her big rings and diamonds and a brand new Japanese yacht

And they like to get together and talk about all the things they've got

But they ain't never mention me

I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah I drive me a big old semi truck

I'm makin' payments on a two room shack

My wife she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back

An' 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

I'm sayin' woman wake me up early

Be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray
