LYRICS:
play intro

Hey little jail bait tell me your story
Let me bum a smoke and we can chat a while
I want to see you talk straight so let me hear your story
Before you get off and make your change

play 2nd line of intro

PRE-CHORUS
You see lately I’ve found that there’s hell going ‘round
And honey you’ve given one big chase to my strain

CHORUS
Talkin bout a woman who’s lost a lot of days in this life
Talkin bout a woman who just can’t say no
She needs another lover like she needs another dose in her blood
Talkin bout a woman who’s name is Candy
She’s so fine

She’s waiting on a back street line
A F#m6 Dsus2 A A/G# A7/G
Like a lost angel not long for this world

Don’t usually get emotional don’t usually show my veins she said
Only when I sing or when I’m making tracks
Sweatin’s just a mean way to show me where I am
And to tell me where I need to be

PRE-CHORUS
And through those eyes if she wore her disguise
I’d see through it and say come in from the rain girl the rain girl

CHORUS

Talkin bout a woman she loves me like a dog loves a bone
Talkin about a woman who just can’t let go
I need her as my lover like I need another hole in my head
I’m talkin about a woman I know Candy
She’s so fine

But she’s shaking on that back street line
A F#m6 Dsus2 A A/G# A7/G
Like a loose cannon ashamed to explode

A A/G# A7/G A(V)

CHORUS
ad-lib vocals

G Dsus2 A A/G# A7/G
When will I learn to let you go

A A/G# A7/G
You’re my Candy
A A/G# A7/G A(V)
You’re my lost angel not long for this world

Sittin in this lonely town wonderin when things are going to change
Dreamin my life away and it seems them dreams have
turned into a bunch of dust clouds
Gettin my nerve up, but my past is pullin me down
Wonderin how long this black sheep can stick around

Somebody told me once before you can never go home again once you leave
Say anything just to scare me away from the truth of

who I am and what I believe
So I thanked him for his two cents with a shake and some sympathy
And I packed up my blue jeans and I headed for the big prize of my
freedom

(Chorus)
Bye bye black sheep, black sheep of the family
Bye bye black sheep how that means so much to me
Bye bye to my friends and my family
Bye bye black sheep goin off to set my soul, set it free

(Bridge)
Times they were a changin, I did just a little re-arrangin
Take a couple chances, my progress it advances
To that prize of my freedom[F/C/Dm/Bb]

It’s written in the stars steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home or a place I like to call home anyway
Some people will say I’m crazy singin out loud like I do here on the
street
When I got a song I sing it out loud and if you don’t like that my
friend,
Well I’m gonna say to you

(Chorus)
