Big Sister

You were a little older than me When you bought me my first beer You liked my company For the first time in twenty-one years I've laughed about the good old days And how you kicked me out of your room I guess you went through a phase As your body was starting to bloom Now we're grown up as grow-ups can be Hell, I'm six foot three But you're still Big Sister to me When Jimmy Evans broke your heart It was me he answered to And then Mom and Dad fell apart I remember leanin' on you Now we have our own families You know our blood runs deep And you're still Big Sister to me There's times you got under my skin like a stubborn thorn And I'm sure there were days when you wish I had never been born But the years have drawn us closer somehow And all that's water under the bridge There's just miles between us now And family photos all over the fridge You call me once a week With some advice that I don't seek And if I Live to a hundred and three You'll still be Big Sister to me. --- Big Sister - Billy Dean
