Sister, You Give Me Wings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks drive with both hands on the wheel Eyes on the road and a steady feel Then there's you with a heavy foot Where the brakes should go, you just don't look That possum feasting in the other lane Never saw you coming, girl, who's to blame? [Chorus] We laugh till we can't breathe Tears rolling down, holding our knees You laugh at yourself and I laugh too Nobody's twisted like me and you When times get rough, I hold on fast 'Cause you taught me this too shall pass [Verse 2] Snow coming down and Mom by our side You took the worst road on that hospital ride Sliding and praying through the frozen night But you got us there, you held on tight Joelle, you're braver than you know Leading the way through the ice and snow [Chorus] We laugh till we can't breathe Tears rolling down, holding our knees You laugh at yourself and I laugh too Nobody's twisted like me and you When times get rough, I hold on fast 'Cause you taught me this too shall pass [Bridge] A speed bump's just a ramp to you So let's fly away, like you always do Over the train tracks, Honda in the air My butt left the seat, you didn't care [Verse 3] When danger's near you can't find the words Just squeaks and squawks like a startled bird Waving your hands like a traffic cop But somehow I know just when to stop That's our language, sister, you and me Joelle, you're my favorite family [Chorus] We laugh till we can't breathe Tears rolling down, holding our knees Your sick sense of humor, I get it too Nobody's twisted like me and you Whatever comes, I hold on fast 'Cause you taught me this too shall pass [Outro] Buckle up, here we go Joelle, I love you so
