[Chorus 1]
Sister, oh, sister
I miss your shadow
I miss your shade
When I was afraid
You pulled me through

Sister, big sister
You set the standard
You set the curve
You showed the nerve
When I needed you

[Verse 1]
Those old Pennebaker boys
Stop making all that noise
And you beat 'em
To the dirt without blinking

My fists flew in the air
'Cause I knew that you'd be there
To grab 'em by the shirt
Without thinking

[Chorus 2]
Sister, oh, sister
The whole house in shambles
You stood straight as a bean
You made a whole team
Out of me and you
[Verse 2]
A time we stole a car
You tried to sneak me in a bar
When I was barely twelve
And you were fourteen

Cross that parking lot expanse
On those oyster shells we dance
Whilst some cowboy watched you twisting
Through the porch screen

[Chorus 3]
Sister, oh, sister
You been my sea wall
You been my blood
You're in my blood
I thank God for you
