Triumph - Black Sheep lyrics

Joey left when he was 16 Black leather and blue jeans Too young to take a stand Gang life was like quicksand Pack o' smokes and a bottle o'Jack was A good friend, that didn't talk back much Young dude on a roll Fast time take a toll Brother was a big shot lawyer Said the street life's gonna destroys ya Sister was an uptown model Said your whole life's in that bottle CHORUS: Black sheep, Black sheep Bad boy of the family Two strikes against him from the start Black sheep, Black sleep Livin' life out of the street Paid the price that left a scar Good times and a couple of laughs were Just what, Joe was after Love came ina girl named Jane She tried to keep him tame It's hard to walk the line Born under a bad sign The city was an ice cold place Pain was written in Joey's face Lord knows that he was a hard one Switchblade and a .38 handgun Joey got two years in the State Penn He's coming back But he just don't know when CHORUS Doin' time got Joey thinkin' Started prayin' and he gave up drinkin' Parole's comin' in six months maybe Not knowin' Jane's having his baby CHORUS Left jail straight as an arrow Gonna stay on the straight and narrow He loves Jane, and he loves little Joey Lord knows
