What Older Sisters Do
hey there little brother
i know its been a while since we last talked
how have you been
its sure good to hear from you again
i hear you're doing well
hell
i'm pretty proud
i guess now you're all grown up
its hard to believe
cuz i still see you and me
when we were kids
fightin about everything
all i can say now
is dont be afraid to ask
for whatever you need
yeah
you were always my best friend
we might not have always seen eye to eye
but have no doubt
for you i'd die
i know our paths took us to two completely different worlds
we couldnt be more apart
but you'll always be in my heart
and when i give you a hard time
dont let it cloud your mind
i'm just tryin to look out for you
thats just what older sisters do
you remember all those summers
out on the lake
sittin on a tail gate
and fishin with grandpa
yeah i know it wasnt your thing
but i bet when you look back
you laugh
yeah we hit some hard spots
but we were always right there for one and another
i dont say it much
but i sure do love you little brother
oh
you were always my best friend
we might not have always seen eye to eye
but have no doubt
for you i'd die
i know our paths took us to two completely different worlds
we couldnt be more apart
but you'll always be in my heart
and when i give you a hard time
dont let it cloud your mind
i'm just tryin to look out for you
thats just what older sisters do
and before you hang up this phone tonight
just keep your head up
and keep livin right
call momma and daddy
i'm sure they'd love to hear from you
but whatever you do
dont forget
you were always my best friend
we might not have always seen eye to eye
but have no doubt
for you i'd die
i know our paths took us to two completely different worlds
we couldnt be more apart
but you'll always be in my heart
and when i give you a hard time
dont let it cloud your mind
i'm just tryin to look out for you
