BLACK SHEEP



GROWING UP THEY TOLD ME
I MUST FOLLOW THE CROWD
READ THE BOOK OF SCRIPTURE
AND TO THOSE WORDS BE VOWED

THOUGH THROUGH THE YEARS I’VE SEEN
THINGS THAT LED ME TO DOUBT
NOWADAYS I DISMISS
THE WORDS THE PREACHER’S SPOUT

SO WHEN THEY SAY

(CHORUS)

PRAY TO THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP
I SAY NO WAY YOU MAKE ME WEEP
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP
KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY SURE MAKES ME CREEP
NO MORE AM I SUCKED IN THAT DEEP
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP

THEY TOLD ME IF I SIN
I MUST KNEEL AND REPENT
MY SCARS MADE WHO I AM
I WON’T SING NO LAMENT

FOLLOWING MY OWN PATH
CHOOSING NOT TO BELIEVE
YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT
I WILL NOT BE DECEIVED

SO WHEN YOU SAY

(CHORUS)

I KNOW I MAY DO SOME THINGS WRONG
BUT THESE DAYS I’M VERY HEADSTRONG
I’VE FOUND THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG

(SOLO)

YEH WHEN THEY SAY

(CHORUS)

NOW WHEN YOU SAY

(CHORUS)

I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP
