An' poppa and momma wanted
'Wake me up early, be good to my dogs
And big brother, little brother and sister too
When he got off a highball train
And teach my children to pray'
And at night she rubs my back
My wife she waits on tables
I beg you, woman
The little sister married a banker
Yeah, I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, I'm the black sheep of the family
'Wake me up early, be good to my dogs
And at night she rubs my back
'Cause I'm the black sheep of the family
Off the folks on insurance plans
None of them turned out half bad accept me
I guess he makes about a million dollars a year
And became a doctor man
And big brother went to college
I'm makin' payments on a two room shack
And I tell her what my poppa said to my momma
My wife she waits on tables
An' momma, she raised four little children
I'm makin' payments on a two room shack
And a funky looking little dog
And they like to get together an' talk about all the things they've got
Yeah, he owns a country club
He buys her big rings and diamonds
And a family had a good name
He's got a big long Mercedes-Benz
I drive me a big ol' semi truck
Everything for us they never had
He sits in his jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down
I drive me a big ol' semi truck
But they never mention me, no, no
When he got off a highball train
And I tell her what my poppa said to my momma
And teach my children to pray'
He bought her a big ol' racing horse
And a house over-looking the town
And a brand new Japanese yacht
'Wake me up early, be good to my dogs
And he feels real sorry for me
