She hates religion, but she's a fan of Jesus

She likes boys a little better when they're leaving

Her last name's the only thing in common with her sister

She don't feel broke, but Mama's always trying to fix her

She says she'd like to live in Paris

Her Daddy thinks that's hilarious



Mama's in the kitchen burning supper

And sister won't shut up about how her boyfriend loves her

Daddy's in his chair glued to Baywatch

But her she doesn't say much

Yeah life is hard

When you're the only black sheep on the farm



She writes poems, but she don't let nobody read them

A dry sense of humor that won't cut you til you're leaving

She'd try pot, but she don't dig the paranoia

That could be Kansas butting heads with California

And no, she can't deny her raising

Cuts day out and day in



Mama's in the kitchen burning supper

And sister won't shut up about how her boyfriend loves her

Daddy's in his chair glued to Baywatch

But her she doesn't say much

Yeah life is hard

When you're the only black sheep on the farm



Mama's putting dishes in the cupboard

And sister's crying because her boyfriend didn't call her

Daddy fell asleep watching Dateline

But her, she's gonna be fine

Yeah life is hard

But you find out who you are

When you're the only black sheep on the farm
