Sister
Mickey Guyton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And not getting lost in a man's world
It's gonna try to break you down
But you gotta not give a damn, girl
Yeah, it makes you jaded
Yeah, it makes you tough
When it knocks us down
We gotta pick each other up
Sister, I'll be your "Hell yeah!" when all you ever heard was "No"
I'm your speed-dial call, I'm your late-night cry
I'm your shotgun seat, yeah, I'm your ride or die
Sister, you're gonna hurt but you ain't gotta hurt alone
You gotta lot of dirt on me
You know every sin, every secret
Tell me the cold hard truth
A little white lie when I need it (Lie when I need it)
Yeah, sometimes we fight, call each other out
It don't matter 'cause we know that's what it's all about
Sister, I got your back on the long drunk stumble home
Sister, I'll be your "Hell yeah!" when all you ever heard was "No"
I'm your speed-dial call, I'm your late-night cry
I'm your shotgun seat, yeah, I'm your ride or die
Sister, you're gonna hurt but you ain't gotta hurt alone

Love..Love! As a black Country singer songwriter myself I know how hard it can be...did Nashville the whole 9 but kept hearing the same sad tale on top of greedy management. I pray God opens the eyes and ears of people so you can shine like the star you are! My Country stage name is Sean Kristopher (my first and middle names). I have a song I left up from years ago called "That was Then, This Is Now". I would love for you to hear it when you have a chance...still writing and producing now! God bless you and keep you strong and happy today and all days! Your amazing!
