I was raised in a small town, underneath a steeple Raised with The Good Book in my hand Though I loved the Shepherd I didn't mix well with His people So one day I jumped the fence to find new lands I'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family Others just like me wanderin' 'round I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found I hang with the lone wolves The outcasts and the sinners We drink beer in the taverns Friday nights We shoot whiskey, and we cuss We throw down, and we make up Working all our guardian angels overtime I'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family Others just like me wanderin' 'round I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found ♪ Sometimes late at night I get thinkin' about my Shepherd How it broke His big old heart to see me stray But if I know the hound of heaven He's left the flock to find me And when he tracks me down Oh happy, happy day 'Cause i'm just a black sheep lookin' for a family Others just like me wanderin' 'round I'm just a black sheep out here in the badlands Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found, found, found Hoping I ain't too damned lost to be found When that day comes, and He takes me To his throne on that mountain He'll say, "Welcome home son, you're family" And I'll turn 'round, and I'll look out On his heaven of millions On a sea of black sheep just like me Woah, woah, woah, woah Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
