[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
I was Craised in a small town Funderneath a Csteeple
CRaised with the good book in mGy hand
CThough I loved the Shepherd, I didn't Fmix well with His Cpeople
So one Amday I jumped the Gfence to find nCew lands
[Chorus]
CI am just a black sheep Flookin' for a Cfamily
COthers just like me wanderGin' 'round
CI am just a black sheep Fout here in the Cbadlands
Hopin' AmI ain't too damned Glost to be Cfound
[Verse 2]
I Chang with the lone wolves, the Foutcast and the Csinners
We drink Cbeer in the taverns FridGay nights
We shoot Cwhiskey and we cuss, we throw Fdown and we make Cup
Workin' Amall our guardian Gangels ovCertime
[Chorus]
CI am just a black sheep Flookin' for a Cfamily
COthers just like me wanderGin' 'round
CI am just a black sheep Fout here in the Cbadlands
Hopin' AmI ain't too damned Glost to be Cfound
[Instrumental]
C  F  C

C  F  C
Am  G  C
[Verse 3]
CSometimes late at night I get Fthinking 'bout my CShepherd
How it Cbroke His big ol' heart to see mGe stray
But if I Cknow the hound of heaven, he's Fleft the flock to Cfind me
And when He Amtracks me down oh Ghappy, happCy day
[Chorus]
'Cause CI am just a black sheep Flookin' for a Cfamily
COthers just like me wanderGin' 'round
CI am just a black sheep Fout here in the Cbadlands
Hopin' AmI ain't too damned Glost to be AmfoundF  
Hopin' AmI ain't too damned Glost to be Amfound, found, Ffound
Hopin' AmI ain't too damned Glost to be Cfound
[Outro]
When that Cday comes and He takes me to His Fthrone on that Cmountain
He'll say Cwelcome home son, you're famiGly
And I'll Cturn 'round and I'll look out on his Fheaven of Cmillions
On a Amsea of black Gsheep just like Fme, ooCoh
