Sister, oh sisterI miss your shadowI miss your shadeWhen I was afraidYou pulled me throughSister, big sisterYou set the standardYou set the curveYou showed the nerveWhen I needed youThose old hairy-legged boysStop making all that noiseWhen you beat them in the dirtWithout blinkingMy fist flew in the airCause I knew that you'd be thereTo *** them by the shirtWithout thinkingSister, oh sisterYour whole house in shamblesYou stood straight as a beamYou made a whole teamOut of me and youThat time we stole a carYou tried to sneak me in a barWhen I was only 12 and you were 14Across that parking lot expanseOn them oyster shells we dancedWhile some cowboy watched youTwisting through the porch screenSister, big sisterYou've been my seawallYou've been my floodYou're in my bloodI thank God for youYou're in my bloodI thank God for you
