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