Big Sister — текст песни (billy dean)

(David Gates/Billy Dean)

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.
