Texty: Sonya Isaacs. Barefoot In The Grass.
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
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

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
