My Sister's Dress Lyrics

Grateful as an orphan 
Invited to the ball
I seduced your picture 
There up on my wall 
I borrowed without asking
I kept without regret

We drove that truck backwards
Down twisting turning roads
I whispered family secrets 
No one should ever know
I wanted you so badly 
I had to confess
She'd never do the things I did 
In my sister's dress

(chorus) 
In my sister's dress 
I felt free and rotten through and through
I'm a sinner blessed
Laid out across the hood
In my sister's dress

The shoes I bought at Woolworths 
Were two inches too tall 
Twisted my foot in gravel
You did not let me fall
I pulled that hem to mid-thigh
She never would have guessed
All the fun I had that night 
In my sister's dress

(chorus)

instrumental

(chorus)

In my sister's dress 
I felt free and rotten through and through 
I'm a sinner bless 
Laid out across the hood
I had no regrets
Lost everything I could 
In my sister's dress
