Black Sheep But I Belong

Out where the gravel road turns into dust I'm strumming my guitar under skies of rust Family says I'm wanderin, lost in my dreams But my heart keeps singin, no matter how it seems Daddy's out in the garage, working all day Momma's in the kitchen, bakin' the, time away My sisters, reading books, she thinks are true But this old black sheep's got different dreams to pursue I'm the black sheep of the family, playin' my day Momma's in the kitchen, bakin' the, time away My sisters, reading books, she thinks are true But this old black sheep's got different dreams to pursue I'm the black sheep of the family, playin' my tunes Under the stars or by the light of the moon While they shake their heads, I just sing my song In the harmony of the country, where I know I belong The garage doors open wide, it's my stage tonight Lawn chairs for seats, under the street light Neighbors gather 'round, hear the stories I tell In every note and chord, I find myself as well They say I'm wasting time, chasing after a song But this guitar in my hands feels like where I belong Every string I pluck, every lyric I write In this simple country life, I'm taking flight I'm the black sheep of the family, playin' my tunes Under the stars or by the light of the moon While they shake their heads, I just sing my song In the harmony of the country, where I know I belong They say I'm wasting time, chasing after a song But this guitar in my hands feels like where I belong Every string I pluck, every lyric I write In this simple country life, I'm taking flight
