Little Sister

Little boy's supposed to do what he's told
 Little girl's supposed to polish her toes
 Maybe they're together when they're older and all grown up
 Daddy's supposed to put bread on the table
 Daddy's gone and your mama ain't able
 Are you hungry when the money's all run out?
 Tell me little dear if you only lived here
 Did you really ever live at all
 Cause you'd be amazed in the summer how the days
 Of the spring turn into fall
 Just listen to your brother
 You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls
 I know that you think that you're growing
 But you're just tall
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 A really pretty girl in a really small town
 Easy to believe you that you never settle down
 Mama told your mama just to say not long ago
 You want a baby, the same as your friends
 Ring'll find on your finger, and your story will end
 You'll be lookin' 'round, wonder where did the time go?
 Tell me little dear if you only lived here
 Did you really ever live at all
 Cause you'd be amazed in the summer how the days
 Of the spring turn into fall
 Just listen to your brother
 You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls
 I know that you think that you're growing
 But you're just tall
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Woah-oh
 Don't you think I know
 There never was a red light in our town
 Woah-oh
 I hate to say I told you so
 But you got to go right now
 Tell me little dear if you only lived here
 Did you really ever live at all
 Cause you'd be amazed in the summer how the days
 Of the spring turn into fall
 Just listen to your brother
 You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls
 I know that you think that you're growing
 But you're just tall
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
