lyrics

Little Sister

Little sister I've seen the poor in Oklahoma
Plantation owning rich down in Kentucky
And I've found you've got to choose just where you're going
You can't just depend on being lucky

Chorus:

And I'd sure like to tell you
All the things you'll need to know
Oh, to help you in this world to get along
But there's nothin' I can tell you
You won't find out on your own
Just remember little sister to be strong

I've been all around this great big country
Yes, I've seen people knocked down and abused
And there's nothin' that you'll get that you won't fight for
And that includes the privilege of being used

Chorus

Life is sad but full of sullen beauty
Laughter, joy, and sadness all the same
Hooked into these feelings are the answers
Hung around each life's own fragile frame

Chorus and out
