Lyrics Daryle Singletary – Black Sheep

My daddy was a brakeman on a highball traveling train
Mama, she raised four little children
And her family had a good name
Papa and mama wanted all for us they never had

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 plans
He’s got a 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 old 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 papa said to my mama
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
He owns a country club
He bought her a big old 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

I drive me a big old 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 papa said to my mama
When he got off a highball train
Wake me up early, be good to my dogs
And teach my children to pray

Tell ’em what to do, John

I said, wake me up early, be good to my dogs
And teach my children to pray
