Black Sheep

Robert Altman, Daniel Darst

My daddy was a brakeman 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 they never had
Big brother, little brother and 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 of folks on insurance plan
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
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 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

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 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

I'm saying, woman
Wake me up early, be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray
