Oh shit - here I go again. My momma always said I was an instigator. Oh the price of a smile.
Will you indulge me and listen to me tell you this song?
"Sitting in this lonely town, wondering when things are gonna change. Dreaming my life away and it seems these dreams have turned into a bunch of dust clouds. Getting my nerve up, but my past is pulling me down. Wondering how long this black sheep here can stick around. Somebody told me once before they said that you can never go home again once you leave. It'll take anything just to scare me anyway 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. Packed up my blue jeans and I headed for the big prize....I'm afraid...
So bye, bye blacksheep of the family. Bye, bye blacksheep, how that means so much to me. Bye bye blacksheep to my friends and my family, bye bye blacksheep, gonna set my soul, ya gonna set it free. Times they were a changing and I did just a little rearranging. I take a couple chances and my progress advances to that prize of my freedom.
And it's written in the stars, steel bars never were the prison cell once I find that sweet home or someplace I'd like to call home. Some people say I am crazy singing of love, well love you too, hero on the street. When I gotta a song, sing it out loud and if you don't like that my friend, well I'm gonna say...Bye bye to the black sheep of the family.....my friends, you have been my family, bye bye blacksheep...I am going off to set my soul free."
