As always I stop to speak
  Some girls like to say their piece
  As always I turn to you
  Don't understand what you're doing
  And
    Light up this town
  Grow weary and back down
  It's such an amazing sight
  To be found -
  Little sister leaving town
    Says the poet "I won't grass"
  Some things are better left and not taken to task
  I guess I knew she was a Rose
  She knows what hurts and how to hold
    If your daddy he turned round
  Let the grass around him scream the sound
  I'm so sorry for these tales you're telling
  Sometimes you can't account
    Light up this town
  Grow weary and back down
  It's such an amazing sight
  To be found -
  Little sister leaving town
    And sometimes it's absurd
  A minor triumph when you hear the words
  "I'm just trying to stake my place
  No real fears upon this face"
    And my wishes
  Nobody says
  All the signs when I cross the days
  I'm just holding back for you
  Sometimes that helps too
    Light up this town
  Grow weary and back down
  It's such an amazing sight
  To be found -
  Little sister leaving town
