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
