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, 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 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 SongtexteLittle 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 And talk about all the things they've got But they never mention 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 Spoken: Tell em what to do, John John Anderson: I said, wake me up early, be good to my dogs And teach my children to pray Aus Songtexte Mania
