Lyrics

When I find a sheep out alone and in danger in the wild
Lost and filled with doubt and fear, all meek and mild
Well, I’m fillin’ their little heads with lies, I watch `em start to sway
And then that Shepherd shows up, and he saves the day

Chorus
The Good Shepherd (“Baa”) he knows `em all by name
The Good Shepherd (“Baa”) he carries them and their blame
The Good Shepherd (“Baa”) they’re the reason he came
And everything he does tells me I’ve lost this game (“Baaaa”)
The Good Shepherd (“Baa, Baa, Baa”)
The Good Shepherd (“Baa, Baa, Baa”)

He is the Good Shepherd, They won’t follow me
They listen to his voice only, Tell me, how can this be?
He saved them and he loves them and gives `em what they need
Now tell me: how can that be fair To a predator like me?

Chorus

I’m always working very hard to cast a little doubt
But the Shepherd’s got my number, sees what I’m all about
The sheep can be fooled sometimes when I wear these fuzzy clothes
But that Shepherd, Man, he knows, he knows

Chorus

Well, I think he must have a gazillion sheep, but it looks like he wants `em all
So I try not to get my hopes up when I see one `bout to fall
`Cause he’ll leave the whole flock behind to go out and get just one
Whenever he’s around I never have no fun
