(written by Shaye Smith and Ken Harrell)



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
