Mom brought us lemonade
|
On a Coca-Cola tray
|
Ice rattling in plastic glasses
|
We'd see who drink the fastest
|
In a split second we were gone
|
Racing cross the fresh cut lawn
|
And we were running barefoot in the grass
|
Barefoot in the grass
|
|
When I was twelve I started liking boys
|
She was still playing with her toys
|
I pointed out that she was only nine
|
And I didn't need her tagging behind
|
Then I would jump on my red bicycle
|
I'd look back and I 'd get tickled
|
She was running barefoot in the grass
|
Barefoot in the grass
|
|
Chorus:
|
And it brings a smile to my face
|
Seeing her, no shoes in a footrace
|
Running as fast as she can
|
Waving her hands and calling out my name
|
Little Sister
|
Oh, I wonder if she knows how bad I miss her
|
|
I remember being so confused
|
When mom and daddy broke the news
|
I never even saw her cry
|
Though I could tell she was hurting inside
|
But, now I'm sure she's got a full head of hair
|
And I know that somewhere up there
|
She's running barefoot in the grass
|
Barefooot in the grass
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Mom brought us lemonade
|
On a Coca-Cola tray
|
Ice rattling in plastic glasses
|
We'd see who drink the fastest
|
Love to see you run
|
Little sister, run
|
Barefoot in the grass, barefoot in the grass
|
