on a highball traveling train
My mama she raised four little children
And the family had a good name
And papa and mama wanted all for us
Big brother, little brother and sister too
None of them turned out half bad
I'm the black sheep of the family
Big brother went to college
Off of folks on insurance plan
He's got a big long Mercedes Benz
and a house overlooking the town
and he watches the sun go down
And he feels real sorry for me
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, I drive me a big ol' semi truck
I'm makin' payments on a two room shack
My wife she waits on tables
and at night she rubs my back
And I tell her what my papa
When he got off a highball train
and teach my children to pray
Little sister married a banker,
yeah, he owns a country club
He bought her a big ol' racing horse
and a funny lookin' little dog
He buys her big rings and diamonds
and a brand new Japanese yacht
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
Yeah, I drive me a big ol' semi truck
I'm makin' payments on a two room shack
My wife she waits on tables
and at night she rubs my back
And I tell her what my papa
When he got off a highball train
and teach my children to pray
and teach my children to pray
